I also have 4 steps leading up to my porch, and she has never set foot on anything but the top step and the ground at the bottom!
She's sort of a rescue from a breeder in Holland. I knew a dog trainer who imported from there, and he told me that she failed the puppy temperament tests that they perform for police/service dogs. So, I volunteered to pay her airfare to have her sent over with his next "shipment" and take her as a pet in lieu of her being put down!
