Tyrone&charlotte Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Have just read that we should not let our Siberian puppy climb stairs until they are 1 due to their soft bones. Internet search gives so many contradictions thought I'd ask the experts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhuskylover2231 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My dogs almost 8 months and she climbs the stairs, has been since she was a small puppy. I personally don't see the problem. If you carry your pup up and down the stairs all the time, they will always expect it! This probably goes with most sayings, in moderation: obviously don't let your puppy constantly run up and down stairs but I can't see the harm once in a while or a couple times a day, just not in excess. Just my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Mine have always climbed the stairs since they could manage it themselves Sent from my ST18i using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleLuka Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Luka climbs up but not down. Luckily were in a house with no stairs now so no worries. Sucked having to carry him down the stairs at the apartment haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone&charlotte Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Read it in a book we bought on Siberian huskies, as we want to put crate in our bedroom we were starting to think would be a nightmare if every morning and night we had to carry him until he was 1! Will be using stair gate during day to stop him going up so will literally be twice a day. Thanks guys feel relieved now, reading up is great but so many contradictions that can scare found another site today listed siberian huskies as the 4th worse breed for attacks on children, yet majority say great breed with kids. We have decided we have read enough books and searches on Internet and from now on going to stick to this site where people own huskies and share their experience not just their opinion.

Kech Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just can't imagine carrying a 60lbs dog up and down the stairs untill they reach the age of 1. That's insane!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
