I have been doing some work on my house. I removed the carpet from my stairs and painted them. My puppy now refuses to go up and down them. Could removing the carpet be the cause?

Yes. It might be more slippery for him. He will learn to go more slowly and get used to it.
Be sure his/her nails are clipped. Are the stairs slippery to you? They do have special paint products to add to paint to make them less slippery but hopefully your puppy is just afraid of the change in his regular playing field.
The puppy may have slipped when you were not around and now he is frightened of getting on the stairs. are the stairs slippery to you?
Why not try sitting on the stairs and getting him to come up one or two steps at a time.
Just like me! I'm more scared of going up and down bare stairs in my heels over carpeted heals. It is probably that.
Yes he probably felt safer with the rug.It is probably slippery he will get used to them.I have had many dogs scared of stairs in time they all get use too them.Make sure you help him down until then, so he does not fall.
