Does anyone have stairs for their yorkie - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well the stairs are a hit with Graff. It only took once to show him what they were for and then he had it down pat. Best 30.00 I ever spent.

I bought the stairs "as seen on TV" from Walmart. I was so excited, put them together and when I finished I was so very angry

. They only went 1/2 up theside of the bed and 3/4 up the side of the couch. In the box as a certificate "allowing" me the priviledge to SPEND ANOTHER 9.99 to buy the "riser" which was another two steps. NO WHERE on the box did it give a height.

The kids were very curious and were all over the steps -- had they been tall enough they would have used them without second thought, but as it was I immediately packed them back up and took them back to Walmart for a refund. I would like to buy a set of steps, but not from a company whose primary purpose is to sell a product that requires me to buy yet another of their products to make the first one work.

the stairs didn't work for you. They are just perfect for my sofa & I was so glad since they are much cheaper. I love a bargain@@ I hope you can find some taller ones for your babies at a reasonable price. Let us know if you do - I could probably use taller ones for the bed. Thanks & good luck

I don't use the steps, but I bought 2 small plastic laundry baskets. I turn them over and put a towel on top. Now this certainly doesn't do much for the decor of your house but it is an economical way to help the babies get on the couch. Also, instead of a footboard, I put a trunk at the foot of my bed and they will use that.

That's what I am doing now, that is why I tried the steps. I was trying to improve our image.

We have those AS Seen On TV Doggy Steps too. We got ours at Target. We bought the extra attachments (there is a sheet in the box when you buy it) to make it taller for our bed (it included a new cover too).

Mojo loves them! He uses them all the time! We have the set by the bed and in the living room by the couch.

I also have the steps but have to be careful not to leave them there if I'm not watching. They can use the steps to get up & then either fall or jump off. They are just like a small child, need constant supervision.
