Possibly the dog has had a bad experience with stairs in the past. Often all it takes is one traumatic event to create a permanent impression on a dogs mind. It should be possible to work through this by helping the dog climb stairs with a lot of encouragement from you. Help the dog feel safe and assure it that it is alright and that stairs are a good thing. Treats can help along with time and patience.
