buddibear Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 My new foster gave out the SOD while harnessed during lesson one on the stairs. He watched the others up and down all day...........until I fried up some Nathan"s dogs with spicy mustard and retreated up to my office. I was up in 2 minutes and the rest is now old hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jennis Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Joy does a I dont want to do this stair dance on the landing before being brought down on a lead. This morning we decided just to try leaving her upstairs while we came down to breakfast 2 minutes later she joined us. Day 12 looks like stairs arn't so scary after all.

gr8kids Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Give her time, it is scary. I have stairs that freaked my dogs out when I brought them home. My first one we did it really quick trial at the rescue and had a firm hold of her lead and she walked up and down 2 times. It took a little coaxing when we got home, over all just anxious. She was the one who would do one step at a time vs my 2nd grey who I did w/a harness a few times up and down and she got it, she likes to leap up a couple steps at a time. The harness works great. I also say if she can walk up them and she doesn't want to come down, let her stay up there while you are down and if she wants to eat treats etc she will figure out how to come down. Just make sure they are well lit for her to see them. Thats what I did with my 3rd grey put treats making sure the other didn't get them for her to come up and down and it worked, slow but she got it.
