Hilarious Video of Aussie Trying to Figure Out How Stairs Work Goes Viral

An Australian Shepherd Trying to Figure Out How Stairs Work

Today’s story features a hilarious video of a blue merle Australian Shepherd trying to figure out how the wooden stairs work. If you need a little pick-me-up after a stressful day, look no further than this video posted to Instagram on Sunday, August 18th, which has since been viewed more than 3 million times.

Captioned "Aussie shepherd trying to figure out how the stairs work," the video begins with a bunch of Australian Shepherd dogs running up and down the wooden stairs, with the dogs' owner at the top of the stairs recording the moment. However, one of the Aussies, a blue merle, can't quite figure out how to get up the stairs and it'll crack you up! The video shows the confused dog walking between the steps instead of climbing them. 

The Aussie finally figured it out but not without the help of one of his siblings. "I just love how his sibling was dedicated to showing him," commented one Aussie fan. Another Aussie fan wrote, "The other Aussie getting frustrated and still teaching him how to climb the stairs is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen."


Australian Shepherds are entertaining canines with big personalities. They are known to be very energetic and hardworking. An Aussie might be the perfect dog for you if you're a very active person who loves to stay busy. Needless to say, the Aussie, like all breeds, has things that many people don't want to deal with. Australian Shepherds tend to shed a lot. If you bring an Aussie home, you'll need to brush it every two or three days to remove the abundant dead hair and keep its waterproof, double-layer coat looking its best.
