I just adopted a three-legged Australian Shepherd ~three weeks ago. He is completely fine going up stairs... except the ones inside my apartment building. I live on a first floor and there is one flight of stairs to get to my apartment. At first, he would let me carry him and if I had time I would put turkey on the steps and that (and patience) usually worked. However, I left for two days and ever since I've been back he barks and growls when I try to carry him. Yesterday I waited over 30 minutes for him to come up and went through almost an entire packet of turkey. This morning I ended up having to pull him by the leash up the stairs - but I am afraid this might backfire (he growled and barked when I pulled him from his collar once). I got him a ramp but it won't get here until tomorrow and I am going crazy. I could use any advice. He has giardia and going to the bathroom multiple times a day so this is becoming an issue. I am also hoping once the giardia passes he might let me carry him? Maybe his stomach is uncomfortable?
