I have tried so many things in the past to try to get my dog to use to limit his jumping and this is the first thing that he is willing to use.  We are still training with it, but I like how sturdy it is and how it looks. I do have to put a non slip mat under it because I have hard wood flooring.  It was also easy to put together and I'm not the most patient when following directions.  Also, from all the different options I researched this was by far the highest qualify for the best price.  Other items I looked into weren't half as attractive or easy to use and the cost was closer to $300-$400.  I definitely do not and will not regret this purchase.
