Cali was 9 weeks old when I got her and she would try to junp off the bed, we put cushions and pillows and crates on the bed but it was a real pain. She would try and jump over, go under anything to get down. So we ordered these 5 step stairs from the internet for 70.00 and she could get up but they were to steep and the stairs to narrow that she would start down and fall. Then my hubby remembered he had made stairs for our last Yorkie years ago and found them in the attic. We put them next to the bed, they are great because he made them wide but not too high. Cali learned within 2 days to only go up and down the stairs. At 18 weeks now she has never tried to jump off the bed. When I first put the stairs there I worked with her several times a day by saying up- to go up the stairs and down to go down. Now when shes tired and I'm in the other room she will just go off and get up on the bed and fall asleep. Stairs are definately the way to go. Saves their poor knees |
