How to train a Shar-Pei to go up and down stairs? Stairs are something that dogs really have a love-hate relationship with. They can’t stay upstairs forever! The following editor will share with you how to train a Chinese Shar-Pei to go up and down stairs.

Methods for training Chinese Shar-Pei dogs up and down stairs:

Gourmet temptation

Food is an irresistible temptation for Pug, and it is also the most effective method, especially for Pug puppies. The owner can induce the Shar-Pei to go up and down stairs through food. Climbing the stairs is relatively easy for the Shar-Pei, because it can only see the stairs in front of it when climbing up. As long as it keeps moving forward, it is easy to reach the top of the stairs, but coming down is not that easy. When it is at the top of the tall stairs, you stand at the lower position of the stairs and tempt it with its favorite food. Even if it does not dare to take that step yet, it will stretch its neck and face your hand. The delicious food inside makes his mouth water, which inadvertently increases his motivation to go down the stairs.

Training methods

Owners should not pull one of the Shar-Pei’s legs with one hand. This approach will make the Shar-Pei fearful, increase its psychological burden, and make it even more afraid of going down stairs. And if you pull one of its legs, it will cause its other front leg to help the body sit back due to the instinctive reaction of the body. If this is the case, it will make it more difficult for it to go down the stairs.

The correct approach should be: hold its two front legs with both hands and pull it down at the same time, allowing the Shar-Pei to move its center of gravity to the next step. At the same time, the owner's two hands should hold it firmly to prevent it from falling and increase its sense of security.

It will be much easier just to help it move its center of gravity to the next level and then let its hind legs follow. The owner must have enough patience to train repeatedly, so that it won’t take long and it will go up and down the stairs on its own without you having to worry about it!
