| Dog Stairs vs. Ramp I'm getting ready to bring my girl home and I don't know which one to get!! I understand she's a jumper, so I want to train her early to NOT do that because she's too little!!! Especially going down ... she could break something.... Do you use either or both? Is one better than the other? Why? |

| Mine has stairs. She loves them--we put them alongside the end of our king bed. |

| Either will work. Ramp may be easier dependig on the height of the stairs. Ramp will take up more space. Buy both, keep the receipt, and see what is best for the situation. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have both. The ramp by the beds and stairs so they can sit and look out the bedroom window. They all trained right away to both.

| I bought stairs & Winston would never use them. I even led him up on his leash, he skipped across/up them as he jumped up the bed. |

| I've never used a ramp, so I can only comment on the stairs. Mine sometimes goes a couple of steps down and doesn't bother taking the bottom steps and just leaps to the floor.
