I have a rescue dog that's been with me for six months. We're not sure on the details of his 5 years of history so there's a lot of anxiety and issues we're working through. Getting him to learn it's okay to be on the sofa and now his new bed is going to be a process. I loved how easy it was to order and put together. Kobe on the other hand isn't too sure about it, but every day we work on getting him to at least stand on it.
