@JuliaChang93 Are we talking about an adult or a puppy? Puppies can't climb stairs and need to be carried outside. If it's an adult, I'm somewhat confused as well. Is there at least one free square of your own property at the end of those steps or do they go all the way to the road? Maybe that has something to do with it. The dog might not be registering your stairs as a way to get on your lawn. If there isn't at least one free square you might try moving your house a square back (tedious I know) and see if that works. It'd be better to put in the work troubleshooting than dealing with constant peeing on your deck...
Also during your walk you CAN get your dog to go to the bathroom. During one of the moments you stop walking and nothing seems to be happening, click the ground and choose the encourage to do business option. You should even have time to pick up any poo done. 😉
