Are the stairs carpeted?

If so, leave him up there and he'll eventually come down on his own.

Lisl had a 15 step flight of carpeted stairs mastered at 8 weeks.

It could be dangerous for him if they are not carpeted. If you've ever seen a German Shepherd, or practically any dog for that matter on a hardwood floor you'll see them sliding around like they're on ice.
