My 14 year old dog took to this ramp pretty quickly. She weighs about 45 pounds. Treats helped for sure to entice her to go up the ramp to get on the bed. Then, after 3 days, I was brushing my teeth and getting dressed in the bathroom. When I turned around to come out, she was laying on the bed. I wondered if she actually jumped or went up the ramp. Later she followed me into the bedroom and I told her to get on the bed and she went up the ramp! YAY!
