hello again all
Well, recently I have noticed that my v8 is starting to have problems with jumping up onto furniture. He has actually started missing quite a bit and is becoming kinda of unsure of if he can make jumps anymore at all
The hardest for him is our bed which is very high off of the ground. He tries and misses and then eventually he gives up if we aren't there to help pick him up. I guess this is part of him just getting older (he's turning 9 years old this year) bit in his next vet appt I will discuss it to be sure it's not the beginning of any arthritis etc.
I'd like to get advice from any of you that have experienced this. I tried to put a little step stool next to the bed and showed him how to get onto it and then jump up onto the bed but he hates the step stool. I've looked into some of these ramps they make for dogs, but most of them don't look very stable and steady, and if v8 thinks he might fall off he certainly won't use it. Any other ideas ?
