Amazon has them! I have the same stairs for my cat to climb on the bed.

u/LFNB2613 · 5 pointsr/Dachshund

I bought stairs for my bed for my little guy to get up and down, and even though he still could and preferred to jump I would scold him for doing so. I made him get used to the stairs. Now about seven years later (he’s twelve now) he prefers the stairs and when he does try to jump, which is not often (maybe once-twice a month when he gets the zoomies), he only has about a 50% success rate. Its much safer and much better for their backs. My gf is a vet tech and has seen many doxies come in with back problems from jumping.

I’m really glad I got him stairs. Please don’t let your little wiener be a jumper!

He is super adorable by the way :)

EDIT: he actually has two sets of stairs. He uses this one for going up and this one for going down.

Dog stairs like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Solvit-PupSTEP-Plus-Pet-Stairs/dp/B000MD57OO (They're good for elderly dogs of any breed, also)

For stumpier-legged dachshund mixes, ramps might be better than stairs.

u/ffat20itsok · 3 pointsr/corgi

I have a corgi and I bought these stairs off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MD57OO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I haven't really had any issues with them, and my corgi loves them!

u/SaltyBabe · 3 pointsr/Dachshund

I had to go through this last summer with my girl. We ended up having to do surgery. I don't know how/if you deal with her getting up and down from furniture I just wanted to plug a great product I found for a really good price.

These have been AWESOME and in all honesty probably saved her life because they finally got her to stop jumping.

Don't know if you need the link but I would rather you know than not know!

u/Estranged180 · 2 pointsr/Dogtraining

I don't usually advocate the use of pee pads, ever. But this time, I'll concede that they are a necessity. On that score, you're doing it pretty much right, but if you can, get them out a little more often.

For the jumping, if you want them on your couch, get some stairs for the dog. They do make them for smaller, shorter dogs to get up onto furniture. If you don't, you might want to start training them in the 'leave it' command. Once this is in place firmly, you can tell the dog to leave it when it comes to the sofa, and they won't even try.

u/Futurames · 2 pointsr/muacjdiscussion

Yeah it’s tough when they get older. Maybe you could look into getting a set of those mini stairs like these to put next to the bed and at least alleviate one of the problems?

u/BarefootHippieDesign · 2 pointsr/Chihuahua

Hi there. I got steps from amazon and they work really well. They come in two sizes. I got the taller version because we have a very tall bed. They aren't the most attractive things, but I put an artistic touch to them and now they are really cute and I get compliments on them. doggie steps

u/jourtney · 2 pointsr/Dogtraining

Here is a picture of my girl, just so you know that I am definitely dealing with a very long backed dog. So, I do take some precautions when it comes to her activity. For instance, I walk her about 2-3 hours per day, but I make sure that it's mostly grassy trails and not a lot of cement. When I walk her on cement, we keep the walks short-ish (40-60min). Cement puts more stress on dogs bones/joints, and that includes their backs.

Another thing I do is keep the running around short. I do play fetch with her, and I allow her to run back and forth, and run around the yard.. however.. thankfully she takes breaks on her own. She will run really really fast across the entire yard, and then she will lay down and gnaw on a stick. We give her a minute or so of a break, and then we resume the running. Frequent breaks are important, and we are extra cautious. On top of that, we keep this form of exercise kind of short. We keep her outside running around for about ten minutes before we bring her inside for a nice long break. Then, after about an hour or so, we go back outside to play some more.

I also, of course, train a lot with my dog, so she is always mentally tired. She is a Competition Obedience dog, and a Canine Nosework dog, so we have a lot to work on during the day. I am also a positive reinforcement dog trainer, so I really need to make sure my girl is her best self!

Maybe the little guy would benefit from more freedom, alongside more mental/physical stimulation. If you're able to give him a better life, I think it would be better for you to take him in. Of course, this is totally just my personal opinion, after just one tiny little itty bitty glimpse into your MIL's lifestyle.

I think if your MIL were to carry treats around with her, and keep them on her at all times, she could toss them far away from the couch each time the pup approaches the couch. Whenever she wants him to just go away, she can begin to toss treats all around the room. This will make the floor a rewarding place to hang out. I also recommend she gets a nice comfy dog bed for the dog so he can hang out on the floor comfortably. That's the other thing we did for my girl. We have these exact doggy steps for the bed/couches/chairs/etc. We also have this $90 X-Large pet cave bed for my girl so she has somewhere comfy to lay on the floor. This is definitely important for Dachshund's backs. Here's an album of the X-Large bed.. which is just ridiculously large.. there really is no need to buy the bed this large.. I can comfortably fit inside of it and sleep.

So, I think if your MIL truly needs to stop with the force training, and needs to start using encouragement to get the pup to do what she wants. This will definitely build a better bond between them, and it will help the pup be less defiant!

My dog had a few mishaps when younger so now she barks and moans to get up the bed. I used to have a small ladder for her and it helped wonders.
Maybe that could be a good thing for your babe? make it easier for him to grab a midnight drink or bite.

Here it is on Amazon. It's cute to watch him haul fuzzy butt up it. :)

This would be really helpful for my dog who's been having trouble jumping up on furniture. This weekend me and him are probably gonna go to the park and play frisbee!! :) Thank you for the contest!

First of all, has the vet told you that it is this cat's time? Is he in constant pain, is life no longer worth living? There are a few things you can do about him not being able to jump up on things, like getting some pet stairs (like this). Don't put him down until you are sure.

Secondly, "putting him to sleep" by feeding him alcohol is a horrible idea. If you want him to pass on in familiar surroundings, there are vets who will do this in your home. If it is because you cannot afford a vet, contact your local SPCA and see if they have any services to help you.

Third, if you have the cat put to sleep properly by a vet, they will inform you of your options regarding his body afterwards. They can take it away, or you can get him cremated. There may be other options as well.

Fourth, don't do anything differently for Jake. If he seeks out attention more, give it to him, but don't hunt him down for it. Cats grieve in their own way, and making sure everything else in his home is the normal routine will help him adjust to the loss. I think the only thing you really shouldn't do is get a new kitten or cat too soon. Wait until both you and Jake are ready for it.

Finally, you are not more upset than you should be! He's your cat, your pet, your buddy. You probably interact with him much more often than you did with your aunt. Holding it in is just going to come around and bite you in the ass; if you aren't allowed to properly grieve, it will take you longer to come to terms with it. Allow yourself to cry, even if it's in the shower so no one else can see (if showing emotion in front of others is difficult for you).

Once again, it may not yet be his time, and he could have years ahead of him if you give him a few extra things, such as pet stairs or more soft places to sleep down low. Ask your vet. And for god's sake, don't perform the euthanasia yourself.

u/gaya2081 · 1 pointr/corgi

I have this set from amazon and my 2 year old dog figured them out within minutes. My 14 weeks old puppy finally figured out how to get UP them last week, but she won't go down (and we don't want her). I've been working and she will be sleeping and I suddenly hear her barking because she went into the bedroom and is on the bed and can't get down. I give her less then a month before she will go down the steps and another 2 months before she will go down our house stairs.

u/csbingel · 1 pointr/dogs

That's the general concept of what I'm looking for, but there's a ton out there with price points from $20 to a few hundred. I found this one, but I need to get home and see how tall the bed of the car is.
