Morning. Dillinger is my third Japanese Chin. Never a issue until him. He is a pure bred 10 month old male pup. Will not leash walk, or go up or down stairs. Vet says he has a fear of falling. Tried paw pads & booties with gripping. Carpeted the stairways. In the kitchen he jumps from a rug by the door to his bed & blanket across the room. Does the same from the living room area rug to his bed & blanket. Sometimes he walks backwards looking over his shoulder! We live in a four story townhouse & we carry him. He is healthy, vet checked routinely & up to date with all vaccines. i tried daycare he was fine until they put him onto a tile surface, freaked out & spent the day in a chair observing! Can you help me?
