I have been trying for to get her to come down my basement stairs for weeks, I take her down with me and then go back up, call and she just sits there looking up at me

so now her new trick is, she stands at the top and whines , I mean really loud, all my other furkids are up and down the strairs no problems, I thought maybe she would learn from them, nope, so today she starts this howling

I have never heard a small dog howl like this, it totally carcks me up, I have to get this on video, you wont beleive it, any tips girls

My pug Dakota was just like this. I finally was able to get him to come down with cheese. I gave him a small piece of cheese for every step he came down and guess what...........he made it all the way down! This was just the basement stairs too. He had know prob going up and down the stairs in the house but the basement stairs for whatever reason scared him. They even have carpet because my basement is finished!

Do your basement stairs have open backs? Izzy won't go up or down any steps that are too step or have open backs. Our basement steps are closed and have carpeting on them so she zips up and down very fast to chase our cats..lol.

The cheese might do the trick!

I think the cheese trick sounds like a really good one.
