We have had them about a week now and she still won't use them. She still insists on jumping off our bed. She does use a little chest we have at the foot of my bed to jump up sometimes.

You could try training her one step at a time using treats for success.

Leave them in place and be patient. Jewel and Bentley did the same thing until they realized it made life easier.

Those are the same steps we have for our couches! So the main reason I got them was for Jax to try to minimize his jumping on and off. Now mind you, heā€™d been doing so for 4 years so he did not take to the stairs at all. I would lure him up and down with treats but he still didnā€™t use the stairs. Then just one day he did. He doesnā€™t use them all of the time but will here and there.

So keeping working with her and Iā€™m sure one day sheā€™ll ā€œget it.ā€

She is afraid of them! I had them there for a couple of weeks and she won't step one foot in them. Even with a treat! Lol
I have a seat at the end of my bed that she has been using sometimes. My bed is kind of high.

I just thought the steps would be easier for her. She jumps on and off the bed a half of the time with out using it.
My hubby could build something like that! I'll have to show him.

Such stinkers.... when we first got our king bed, I bought a bench for the pups... Banks would not go near it. Took months before she finally used it, then it was all the time. Good luck... I hope she gives in to them
