I know Chelsea doesn't want to leave the rubber mat on the stairs, but an idea for a video! What if you left the mat on both sets of stairs, set up the cameras and see if Koda uses them? Either during the day, or at night when you all are asleep. Or if you guys leave the house?
@@kinjalksharma8420 Assuming he/she still uses stairs with gaps, he/she is the opposite of a coward. being a coward is not being scared of something, it's actively avoiding what/who scares you, and depending on the situation it can be called being smart.
Koda is a genius. You should definitely put that mat up again one day and do a sleepover with all the animals together upstairs. See if Koda will stay there all night or walk back down.
When I was young, a friend of mine had see-through stairs in her house and I had never seen these because it was a new thing (late 70s). I was terrified and always thought I would slip through the holes.
Maybe you guys should leave the mat for a bit longer? Then greet him every morning at the mid-level and encourage him to come up at least half of the stairs to let him get use to the feeling of overseeing the whole floor in mid-air, as a Great Pyrenees maybe he would grow to love it!
my dog is also afraid of stairs, he is a lab and the stairs don't have those in betweens so i guess some dogs are just afraid of heights. he won't even walk on a bridge
I can’t believe Koda can actually do the stairs but it was just the scary no back board to the stairs was the problem. Koda I’m also like you on those kind of stairs too.
My friend's dog slipped down their wooden stairs and hurt his back really bad. She also put a non slip runner on stairs. He was afraid for a long time remembering the awful slip and hurt back injury.
Pretty sure it's how slippery the steps are is why he loses confidence. Look at 2:13 when he puts his front paw up and it starts to slide forward. He doesn't feel safe on them. I would be extra careful with an older dog on those steps without some kind of carpet tile down or some other textured grip on the stairs.
Koda is like the most loveable cutest dog that just sticks by ur side and is there if ur down then cooper is like let me distract you and make u feel happy
It might have also been how slippery the bare wood is. If he felt like his back paws were slipping, he might have been scared about falling down (which the rubber mat would also fix).
its amazing how much one experience can shape a dog's behaviour. my aunt's dog was startled by the bluetooth speaker startup noise while he was going down the stairs once, and just that made him sketched out by both those stairs, and the bluetooth noise ever since. he hates going down those stairs so much that sometimes he has to go backwards or he wont do it at all lol. i'm a dog walker and sitter and see stuff like this all the time, one random thing can change things for a dog forever. actually because of this, when trev just had the runner weighted down with the rocks instead of securing it more, i was afraid that koda would slip and i figured if he had one bad experience with these stairs it was basically all over and thered be no chance of ever getting him up them again. so im glad that he had success today!
Technically, for those who have remember and been watching for around 6 years, Koda did slip and fell down the stairs on the first day he saw this house.
Thank you so much for making people smile every Sunday. Currently my dog is getting rescued from a lake, my parents told me to go home (since I was crying so much) and I’m home now. I’m watching this video to get my mind off it. Hopes to my dog Leah. 🙏
@@gingerslife4856 Yes!! She just came back healthy from the ambulance, they gave her some warm chicken broth and some heated blanket! They were super nice! She all good!! !!!
Leave the rubber on the entire staircase for a month and get him in a routine of going upstairs and then take the rubber away. Maybe he will still use the stairs. Or hire someone to put wooden back plates on the stairs so it still looks nice and he can use them.
I honestly think its more of a texture thing then being able to see past the stairs, maybe figure out a thing that has more grip to put on the stairs that looks good, or get a couple of runner carpets to put on there, that way it looks good but still functions for him to come and be part of the family with you all upstairs.
Aww 🥰 AWESOME JOB Koda !!!! How crazy is that …? I can understand his insecurities. He doesn’t feel safe but I hope yall consider putting that mat all the way up for him. He’s so sweet. I’m most excited about his willingness to go up the stairs with the black mat . It’s all about feeling secure.
I mean I wouldn't feel safe walking up those stairs, as clumsy as I am so I totally feel Koda. I have to try the snack thing on my dog. He too would do stairs as a puppy and now is afraid of them, but they are solid, with walls on both sides. Also I love how fascinated with this whole process Bella was.
Besides the opening between each of the stairs, it might also be the traction the rubber runner gives Koda as he goes up and down. The stairs in your current house appear to be very slippery and I bet Koda thinks so too! He's such a big guy I don't blame him for being cautious and not wanting to get hurt; especially if he slipped and fell on those stairs in the past! Thanks for the fun and entertaining videos with Koda and Cooper... oh and Bella and the 2 of you too. Very cute! 😍💜😊
by the choices you gave Cheles I'm surprised by all three. Also I love how Koda's favorite treats are these little teeny tiny treats that he could swallow like a pill.
The next step is to gradually reduce the amount of steps covered by the rubber mat. For example, you could uncover the first step or two and then after a week uncover one more etc.
💓.Koda's hairy toes must feel so slippery on the hard polished wood of the stairs. I'm not surprised he is scared. A nice carpet runner would help him feel a secure grip under his paws and look stylish 💓.(and it would also soften the noisy echo and reverberation that rebounds around the house due to the size and hard surfaces) 💓.
Totally agree. No way would my Lab go up or down those stairs. You have to remember that the pads of their paws are "dry" (not "sticky" - or clammy - like our palms) and not made for walking on slippery surfaces - especially not when climbing and descending!
He might also be scared of his feet slipping! You probably already know this, but they sell little pads for your stairs so that he can get the grip with his lil feets as he walks up. You can tell he got a lot more confident when he felt that he wasn't sliding when he stepped on the stairs!!
I was thinking maybe the stairs are too slippery for his foot pads. If the back part is scary, maybe you could just put something on the back of each stair to make it so you can't see through it.
I got the impression, Koda may have had a bad experience with steps when he was younger. Also I agree about those steps, wouldn't walk down those with just socks myself.
Trevor: makes this video Me: finally the call has been answered. Now will koda go up the stairs Edit : I can't believe koda actually made up the stairs. Trevors plan was genius 👏 👌

I always thought he had vertigo but now I get why he’s so terrified of those stairs. You guys absolutely MUST do something about them to make Koda feel more at home.
I kinda cried when he remembered which way to go. Happy tears though, definitely happy. Love your videos since Coop was a puppy and will continue watching your videos. Lots of love from Australia
I agree. Really wish they would worry more about excluding him than the aesthetics of the stairs... There are things that they could buy to put on the stairs that aren't slippery and still make the stairs look good.
@@IllusionQueen4Eva they worry about his safety, health and happiness more. Koda prefers to stay downstairs, plus it's safer and happier for him to do so. Check Tmartn's comments and older videos (:

Yes finally! (tell dame I said congrats on the game winner last night)

So Koda's not scared of the stairs, he's scared of the house.
Yeh

Koda outsmarted you. He could have just walked up, but instead got dozens of treats for free.
😂
And he is the definition of good parent
Koda showed that his phobia can be handled. To bad the rubber mats can't stay. Love our Koda

Haha more like sheds koda hair
haha
I can’t believe he did the stairs at the apartment like it was nothing then came home was like nope need a mat so awesome he’s such an awesome dog 🐶
I think that was not only issue to see between the stairs. Those stairs seems to be slippery, the is not grip for the big boy.
This is also likely a part of the problem!
@@TmarTn2 did he not pee outside going to the truck
@@TmarTn2 The first time he took the stairs, in the introduction to the house, he did slip on them.
@@TmarTn2 Definitely pooping on the tree 🌲
I guess the rubber matt gave him a sense of safety.

Miss Coopie , Koda and Bella so much, please come back you guys 🥺

Yes Yes
Sounds amazing. I'm your 200th like btw
In Koda’s defense, I don’t like stairs like that either as a human. I always freak out inside and just hold on and take my time.
I have a fear of escalators...
I have a fear of elevators

Yeah from what I’ve heard livestock guardian dogs like to have elevation to overlook their territory for danger
Genius!
Honestly, the fact he remembered an apartment from 6 years ago is very impressive! Also very good boy on the stairs Koda!
They are slippery!! Did you watch his feet wobble at the beginning? He feels unstable.
Is that a deathnote reference in your name?
@@halinacollingbourne8092 pizza
@@halinacollingbourne8092 Deathnote? I don't get it. X-Files is one of my favorite shows.
I feel like a proud mother.
Seeing Koda finally conquer the stairs makes me happy.
I feel like the reason he’s scared of the stairs is because he can see the in betweens, but also because he probably slips and is scared of falling
Yes, I was thinking that it was a floor texture thing where he is afraid of slipping!
my dog is also afraid of stairs, he is a lab and the stairs don't have those in betweens so i guess some dogs are just afraid of heights. he won't even walk on a bridge
I was thinking that
Shinny stairs are slippery and dogs do not like slippery at all. They could put some texture in the finish on the stairs and make it easier for him.
Ye because when he went to the apartment he went up easily but there were no cracks
today is a great day in history everyone will remember where they were when they saw koda walk up and down the stairs for the first time
I can’t believe Koda can actually do the stairs but it was just the scary no back board to the stairs was the problem. Koda I’m also like you on those kind of stairs too.

It might have also been how slippery the bare wood is. If he felt like his back paws were slipping, he might have been scared about falling down (which the rubber mat would also fix).
My thoughts exactly.
Yeh that is probly why
I like how Bella is just hanging off the stairs just watching
I can’t believe Koda was able go up the stairs and remembered where Chelsea lived!❤️
I loved this so much. But I gotta say, the thing I'm most shocked about is that you won't keep it like that for him.
Agree!
tru
Same!
It actually looks pretty nice too
Once my dog went up the stairs and slipped. Hasn’t gone up since.
then theres my pug- shes fallen down the stairs while running full speed, she'll trip up them and then fall down and she still runs them like a maniac
its amazing how much one experience can shape a dog's behaviour. my aunt's dog was startled by the bluetooth speaker startup noise while he was going down the stairs once, and just that made him sketched out by both those stairs, and the bluetooth noise ever since. he hates going down those stairs so much that sometimes he has to go backwards or he wont do it at all lol. i'm a dog walker and sitter and see stuff like this all the time, one random thing can change things for a dog forever. actually because of this, when trev just had the runner weighted down with the rocks instead of securing it more, i was afraid that koda would slip and i figured if he had one bad experience with these stairs it was basically all over and thered be no chance of ever getting him up them again. so im glad that he had success today!

I like the idea of adding temporary wooden back plates. Once Koda is confident with going up and down, they could take the wooden plates off.
Or like they can screw polished wood pieces in the gaps so it doesn't look bad
It might be difficult to put a permanent thing at the back because I don’t think they bought the house so they would need to ask.
Soooo cute!
Finally I have been watching for the past 3 years and I have never seen him do it
It’s so crazy to see how much Koda has grown. 😭
“She is the queen of the stairs
Bella: I am the queen of this house.
Koda remembering his former home from six years ago is very impressive, but he's such a smart boi, I'm not surprised!!!💞💕💞

I was surprised when koda going up the stairs by himself
I was surprised by Kodak pooping on a tree 😂
I adore the amount of love, dedication and work you guys invest in your pets. It‘s just fun to watch.
The day we have all been waiting for, Koda went up the stairs.
I literally had tears in my eyes watching Koda go up the stairs. That was incredible.

they are and when any of them get some older and decline in cooridination and strength they will have a terrible accident
I agree. I would do whatever it takes to make my dogs happy. They deserve it. We as parents can adapt to changes and be happy for them.
