Dogs hear higher frequencies than people and react to smells, small animals and tiny changes in air pressure. So a dog refusing to go downstairs is usually telling you something real.
The ordinary explanations, in order of likelihood: a mouse or squirrel, a smell from the drain or sump, a noise from the furnace or water heater, or a cold draft.
When it’s none of those, we see the same pattern every time. The dog stops at the top step, stares at one corner, and won’t move. If that sounds familiar, write down when it happens. It’s one of the most useful things you can tell us when you book.
