Stairs Desensitization and Counter Conditioning - Take It One Step at a Time

Today we worked on stairs. Scout came from a single story home and is afraid to climb the stairs to our second floor. So we set out today in search of stairs of all types to practice. Campus provided lots of great opportunities with stairs that had different numbers of steps and various widths and heights, open and enclosed. He did really well with most of them but was hesitant with the narrow, enclosed steps (which is just like the staircase at home). He was able to have some success with them though. We will continue to work on this regularly.
