the more I think about it ramps are probably the best way to go, but I believe they probably take up more space. Yesterday I decided to place the stairs I have which are wide and carpeted and made of foam in front of a chest that Lola lays on to look at the window. she goes up them but jumps down, but the chest is not that high and she lands on carpet so I don't worry. Anyway I put the steps in the front of the chest then made her use them a few times, she kept jumping over the last step and I figured out why, the depth of each step is a little to shallow for her. She comes down fast and gets a rhythm going, these steps which are bigger than the plastic one are still to shallow for her gait so it's almost a natural instinct to by pass the steps she feels she might miss anyway. |
