My wife and adopted a 7 year old guy from BRAT this past December and he does the same thing. He's a retired puppy mill stud that never learned how to climb stairs until he was "freed." If he gets a running start, he can leap a step or two, but if he walks up to steps, he goes up backwards, just like in the video. He also has a phobia with certain door thresholds. But don't worry. He's a super fun little guy who just has a few little quirks. He can outrun his 12 year old B-sister in the yard, but she always beats him up the stairs.

Ugh, I missed it again. I was even looking for it the last few weeks.

We always keep a copy on our DVRs just to watch occaisionally or show people who want to see. It also makes our dogs go crazy. The other cool thing is that our 18 month old is related to one of the dogs from NYC that are on the show.

I have wanted to catch that show and record it ever since I first heard about it, but I always miss it.:mad:

And actually that video link I posted is just a 2 minute snippet. They one that aired was the whole show so maybe a half hour.
