There is an excellent book called Living with Blind Dogs by Caroline Levin. It is out of print now, but Amazon has several copies available. This book was suggested to me by my vet when my dog went blind. It goes thru how to train your dog to go up and down steps on command. Be patient. It does get better.

He learned to listen for the sound of the ball hitting the,ground and locate it that way. Dogs are really quite remarkable. Good luck
