Hi All!! Hoping for your guidance with this....
Titan has been having huge troubles with stairs lately. I took him to the Chiro and he was almost 2 inches out we got aligned and on our way. That evening he went up the stairs without a problem. Now it’s developed into stopping half way and he cant get any further than the half way mark! Poor pup sits down looks at the stairs and cry's. It’s REALLY sad. It quite the angle half way up and I think he has just freaked himself out. We have tried EVERYTHING to get him to come up. Treats, bullies, bones, running, going really slow happy happy voice, another dog!! Last night was the 1st night in a year that he didn’t sleep beside me..... He cried for most of the night but there was not much I could do to get him up the stairs.
Do you think we will just have to work everyday at it and eventually he will surpass and come up the stairs or should we leave it be; and if he wants up badly he will come on his own.
I am going to take him again tomorrow night to the Chiro and see if maybe he needs another alignment.... but other than that I am out of ideas. I don’t know how much more of the big mans crying I can take.... its heartbreaking!
Thanks in advance...
