I liked your input Erin. We kind of do the same type things with Muffie & Missy.
I guess we're lucky in that our bed is way TOO high - it's a deep box spring plus the mattress has the thick pillow top on both sides - so it's really high! I even have to get on tippy-toes to get on the bed or slightly jump up.
Muffie doesn't even try to jump up on the bed anymore. I don't think Missy has even thought about it. She barely walks by the bed.
Missy hasn't even noticed our steps going upstairs yet! Thank God because climbing those stairs hurts my legs!
Good luck with your training.
