Yes, Malone used to be awful barreling up and down stairs without a care as to who or what might be on the stairs. So I taught him to go "NICE"! Now, he won't barrel ahead of me, but stays behind me or walks besides me very nicely.

Then, Emerson has come along, and somehow, I haven't been able to drill the concept into his little brain. He is quite the clutz on the stairs, and one of his favorite games is to run downstairs ahead of you, and then run up to where you are and back down over and over again until you are downstairs. He's so funny.
