Transcript
So we just installed our glass railing here, and we also installed these stairs. And I've been trying to teach Jack how to get up the stairs. I have been using a leash. We've been going up and down. I'm practicing all day, and you're doing so good this morning, but now you're stuck again. I got a cheese. K. Come on. K. No. Come on. Come back up. Come back up the stairs. Come on. No. Can't do it.
