Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Very lightweight (I can lift it with one hand), folds easily, and does not take up a lot of room in my vehicle. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND replacing the sandpaper like "traction" covering with carpet for more traction. The sandpaper was like my dog trying to climb a steep Emory board and it gave no grip at all. I went to Home Depot, had them cut me a 6' x 1' piece of indoor-outdoor Berber type carpet, which I then cut into two 3-foot lengths to allow for the fold. Pulled off the sandpaper (which came off cleanly) and securely taped down the carpet using double-side carpet tape. I did let it set for 24 hours before having my dog use it. This is what we trained on. If it came with a carpeted surface I would give it 5 Stars. This works well & my dog got used to it very quickly. I took advice of others & started the training indoors, on a flat surface, just bribing him with treats. Then graduated to a curb height, then used in on my vehicle (Ford Explorer) and had him come DOWN first (treats included). When I take him up, we take a bit of a running start, and I hold his collar just to direct him straight up the ramp. He is a very large 10-year-old chocolate lab and getting in & out of the car was becoming a chore & painful for him, especially jumping down. Now, he doesn't even want to try to get in or out without the ramp, so a complete success! And he is still expecting treats, but what the heck, he's a Lab! >:-) See the photos that show how I upgraded the covering. And the happy face of the dog who uses it every day!
