Here's a short video (35 seconds) of Wally, one of our Corgis, when he was ten weeks old and learning how to go down the stairs from my office.
Moral: Be persistent, and practice makes perfect.

Ouch! Man, don't let your dog do that. Puppies and stairs are a really bad combo! I have a baby gate on my stairs until the pups are capable of dealing with stairs.

Asalamu alaykom,
Actually practice makes better not perfect. Aiming for perfection is setting yourself up for an impossibility and usually results in procrastination.

Mrs. Shakespeare said that is a brave little dog.
She is going to show your video to a friend who has a look-a-like dog.
Thanks

If you need to give your dog access to his house-or your house-you might consider either dog stairs or a pet ramp to let them in. Thanks for great video!
