hello again!
I seem to be running into a consistant problem with my pups. They are 15wks and I haven't been able to start house breaking them because of the stupidest little thing.
I have a split level house and all the door to the outside are on the bottom level, the pups stay in the kitchen which is on the upper level. The only reason why they stay there is because they are scared to go down stairs!
There are only two steps. The smaller of the two has no problem jumping on my lap on the top stair and jumping the rest of the way down, but the bigger one won't even do that. I've tried to get the to go up them first, but that only works if I put them on the first step.
I don't think that it's because they are too small... they will jump twice the height of the stairs without even thinking twice about it and they are up to 21 and 26lbs.
Thoughts?
