Luther has developed a fear of going down stairs....not up haah

you have to get him use to stairs and make sure he knows that there's nothing to them. Use a treat to entice him.

Just give him company whenever he goes down and whenever he did it just hive a hug to him. You have to treat them like your kid and everytime encourage them believe me they understand this affection very well.

Yes I agree with the previous posters. Be patient with him, don't jerk or pull him down. It may take a while, but surely he'll get over this fear.

You are right. Don't force him. Just be going with him on stairs. If he is afraid just be slow and call him with the affection. Better you call with his name. I hope it will help him to get out of the fear.
