Hi there!
We adopted Kuzco about a month ago. He’s our second hound, and we’re aware of how challenging stairs can be for them. We put carpet runners on the stairs, which helped our first grey. Problem with Kuzco is going down but just inside.
We have a bi-level house so two smaller sets of stairs. He’ll go up just fine and that didn’t take long to train. He’ll go down stairs outside (to take him downstairs we bring him into the backyard, around the front, and down some steps into the garage and then basement).
We’ve tried using his favorite toys and treats. He’ll get right to the edge and seem like he wants to but just won’t. We’ve tried from both landings and he won’t budge on either.
So we need more carpet? Firmer approach? Different motivation?
Thank you!
