I need help - thanks for the help in These titles mean nothing.

We got a new dog. I will post a picture soon. She’s a 4-yr-old Huskie mix from the humane society and she’s a nice dog. Ok. So what’s the problem? She went upstairs and she won’t come down. It’s that steep narrow staircase that I’ve been avoiding.... though I’ve been up and down twice today. Jim’s looked up on-line advice and it says not to force her and to be honest we have tried a little bit and did’t get anywhere. Do you think if we leave her alone she will eventually come down by herself. She weighs about 90lbs - we are supposed to take for walks/not runs and restrict her eating. All was well until she went upstairs......

Thanks everyone.

edit - a slice of deli ham got her down - plus patience and coaxing. She’s 90 lbs - is supposed to lose 20 of ‘em - so she’s not easily handled. I got Gracie’s wading pool out. Lots of excitement.
