My pup hates the elevator but hates the stairs more. When we were in an apartment he'd lead me to take the stairs down and the elevator up, until his arthritis got worse and he'd be team elevator each time.

When he comes to work with me, we take a glass-sided elevator up to my office. He can see that we're going up and he hates it. It doesn't matter if he stands on the ground or is in his crate, he shivers. He'd much rather I carry him up the stairs.
