Puppy Keeps Hilariously Fumbling the Stairs

King the Australian Shepherd puppy just can’t figure out how the basement stairs work. In a cute and hilarious video shared by his mom, Robin Bilby, King is seen trying to climb the stairs only to fail again and again.

Everyone in the family pitches in to help him. The adult Border Collies go up and down to demonstrate (with one looking a little bit exasperated by King’s repeated mistakes). Mom gives him encouraging words and the other pups also run by his side and show him how it’s done. But King just doesn’t seem to get it and continues to fail until…

Finally! King makes it to the top much to everyone’s delight (and relief). One thing you can say about King and his adventure with the basement stairs is that he didn’t quit. He was determined to conquer the stairs!

But did the lesson stick? Robin shared a video the very next day showing King (#notthekingofthestairs) successfully getting up the stairs. She wrote, “He’s got it figured out now.”
