Car ramp
Jane is small for a GSD and our car is quite high off the ground I have been
lifting her but have been thinking about a ramp.
Has anyone used a ramp and if so what type would you say is best.

Hi Maggie.
I have never tried a ramp for any of mine, but I have seen them for sale in Argos I think like Lynn says.
Sounds like a good idea though.

For the first while you'll probably have to guide her up on lead but then she'll just scamper up,,,Oh Boy I'm Going In The Car!!!!

Start her off by walking on it when it's flat on the floor so she gets used to it, like you would with an agility ramp :-)
