"Puppy Training – How To Train Your Dog to Climb Stairs!"
Bringing home a new puppy is always an exciting time for the entire family. Getting that new puppy off on the right start with proper dog training is imperative to making that puppy a valued member of his human family.
Once a puppy is part of your household, there are some things he or she will need to learn, including going up and down the stairs. Many puppies are afraid of stairs, and that usually means that they do not know how to climb them properly. It is important for the puppy’s owner to slowly build the confidence of the dog, starting off at the bottom of the stairs. In general, a wide stairway will probably be less frightening to the puppy.
To build confidence, the owner should go up the first step, then encourage the puppy to join them, using their voice, treats or a toy. After the puppy has joined you on the first stair, go back down and repeat the process until the puppy will go up that step on his own. It is important to build confidence slowly and not rush the process. Taking a one step at a time approach is the best way to teach the puppy to not be afraid of stairs. Soon your new pet will be zipping up and down the stairs like an old pro.
