I trained Dillon to use the steps to get on and off the bed by using his favorite treat and toy. I got on the bed and kneeled near where the steps were , showed Dillon the cookie and encouraged him to come up on the bed, my husband helped as well to give him a little boost up the stairs the first two times until he got the idea of what we wanted. If Zia is really afraid of the stair itself, start small, put a small piece of her favorite treat on the first step. Every time she touches the step or stands on it give her a treat.. eventually she will associate good things with that step. It may take time but she will get it I am sure!
