There’s usually a reason behind the drama, and your dog is probably not just being dramatic for fun.

You might think your dog’s aversion to stairs is just a weird little personality quirk, but nope. There’s usually something pretty real going on. Some dogs hit the brakes at the bottom step like they just saw a ghost, while others make it halfway before deciding it’s not worth the emotional toll.

These breeds might squeeze into your square footage, but they’ll take over your entire sanity.

Some dogs were made for wide open spaces, early mornings, and being slightly feral in a charming way. That does not translate well to upstairs neighbors and 700 square feet.
