    Hi, I am new to this forum. Thankyou for having me.
    My issue is with the stairs up to flat. I have my own entrance, directly into the back garden.
    At the moment I am carrying Ed, (nine weeks old) up and down the stairs day and night to pee etc.
    He is very clean in the house, only the odd pee if I miss the signs.
    How long must I wait before he can go up and down the stairs himself? I don't mind carrying him, but as he gets heavier this will be harder to do.
    In addition, when I go to pick him up now, he runs away.
    Help!!

    Hi @Ian73
    Welcome to the forum.
    It's best to avoid stairs for the best part of the first year. I appreciate your issue. How does one manage the situation? Do you have access to a lift/elevator? Runs away? How are picking him up?
