Practice, practice, practice

Baer has no problems with our inside carpeted stairs.  However, he's not a fan of our outside stairs that take the dogs down to our back yard. 

So, here we are practicing going down the stairs.  No pulling him or making him do this.  Baer is so human focused that if we walk down a few stairs he will take a few steps down.  Then we stop and gets lots of praise (which is he loves).

Then down a few more.  We have two flights of outside stairs for Baer to master. 

 

"This is what I think of these stairs!"
 

We're still working on going down the second set of stairs but, we'll get there soon enough!
