It shoudn't be too hard use a leash. I think they would have enough sense not to jump, but if not then yes teach them how.

If dogs aren't exposed to stairs, they tend to be a bit afraid of them, especially going down. Most puppies need to be taught how to go up and down stairs.

My dog is 9mths now and th other week he had 2 walk down the stairs and it was the cutest thing even he was only going down 1 step at a time but bringing his back legs on the step at the same time, its probs because the arent used 2 it and its a great height for them, compared to what it would seem like to us. i think its something every dog would hav 2 get used 2.

My current dog a 7-8 cattle dog/dalmatian took months before he would walk up stairs. The 1st time he went down them he crawled on his belly. For a long leggy dog it's a bit scary. Puppies are generally fearless enough to just have a go at it. Any dog can have a fear of stairs if they haven’t had experience with them.

He learned up after the second time. We held a cookie in front of him. Down was a lot harder. He would literally sit down and not budge. Finally after my husband carried him down like 3-4 times....I left him upstairs by himself and came down to get dinner started. Next thing I knew I heard him come down. At first he was very cautious...now he flies up and down all the steps in our house. Our first two greyhounds(all were around 3-4 years old) knew how to do it after the first try. I know the place we adopt from has stairs going in and out of the kennels-but there are only about 5 steps. My friend got a baby boxer and she had to teach him to do stairs. They are so cute when learning. I LOVE doggies! Yes we just adopted our third greyhound and it took him 3 days to learn how to do stairs. He learned up after the second time.
