So, you have decided that you’d like to purchase a set of pet steps for your dog. Envision the following picture: You’re psyched that the pet stairs you ordered online have finally arrived. Geez, the box is a lot smaller than you expected. You have to assemble the stairs, but you figure it’s a one-time price to pay for the steps. The instructions seem to be written in every language except English, and you certainly won’t make it through with the fragments you retained from high school Spanish. You’ve assembled bits of cheap plastic together—freehand—only to discover that the steps aren’t nearly sturdy enough for your dog, or that they’re too short to be used for your intended purpose (or any purpose at all!). Frankly, I can’t imagine anyone finding this scenario appealing at all. Not only do cheap dog steps result in added hassle and disappointment, but they’re a flat-out waste of money.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, you’ve got to educate yourself on what it takes to purchase the right set of stairs to meet your (and your dog’s) needs. We’re going to go over a few questions that you should ask yourself. Once you have the answers, you will know exactly what to look for when purchasing steps for your dog.

Question One: What does your dog weigh?

It does no good to purchase dog steps that won’t hold your dog’s weight, therefore you should probably bust out the scale and get your dog’s weight. You have to take into consideration the pressure your dog will put on the stairs isn’t simply his own body weight, but he will have gravity working on his side—especially when descending—which will add on a bit more weight. Therefore, read everything on the box if you’re browsing in the store—or all the “product info” if you’re looking online—and make sure that it clearly states the steps can handle your dog’s weight. If your dog is on the upper end of the limitations, consider going to the next size of steps.

Question Two: How tall/long is your dog?

Height and length has a lot to do with how safe the steps will be for your dog, as these generally determine the overall size of your dog. Could you imagine the result of putting a Great Dane on steps intended for a Chihuahua? Catastrophic! Your dog could stumble or fall from the stairs resulting in a serious injury. Check the width of the steps (from back to front) to make sure that there’s plenty of room for your dog to step. You can’t really get an accurate measure of your dog’s stride, but the general rule is as follows:

Large Breed: 16” Steps or Larger
Medium Breed: 14” Steps
Small Breed: 12” or Smaller

Question Three: What purpose will the steps be used for?

This, again, is very important to ensure that you get the correct steps for your needs. Do you need the steps to aid your dog in getting to your extra-high bed? Perhaps you should look into purchasing high pet steps. Will the stairs be used for the car? Lightweight, mobile pet stairs will likely be the best option for you. The best way to figure this out is to simply dust off your tape measure and measure the distance from the floor to the top of the surface your dog needs to access. If you’re using the stairs for your bed which is 2.5 feet from the floor, try to get stairs that meet this height—or get as close as you possibly can without going higher than the bed.

Your ultimate goal is to provide your dog with a safe and helpful way to get to and from places. It would be well worth the hassle of spending an extra hour or two searching for just the right steps for your dog.

There are several possible justifications why a dog leaps on furniture, a family member, a guest or even on the owner. You are thinking about how you can get the jumping to stop, so here are a few of possible reasons as to why your companion does what he does and how it can be avoided. A pet may want to display dominance and he does it by positioning himself on higher places or on top of a person.

Another reason could be the pet’s enthusiasm or excitement over something. It could be very happy or thrilled to see his owner or a guest that it leaped onto that person. It could very well be their way to greet the person. Giving rewards to your companion when they jump also causes him to learn that when it jumps it will get a prize. Some owners teach their companions to jump and so they do so even when they are not asked to. Some owners just aren’t aware that they have given their pets that idea.

Owners sometimes give the dogs rewards for doing something good. But they did not notice that the dog jumped after doing it and the dog thinks that it is the jumping that caused that reward even if it is not. Whatever their reasons are, dogs most of the time frighten or annoy, especially the visitors, if they jump over them. Controlling this dog behavior is what owners would want to do as much as possible.

How To Stop Dog Jumping

How can owners keep their canine from jumping up? There are various ways to train the dog not to jump. One technique is to ignore the dog when it jumps. By handling the situation this way your companion will learn what causes you to ignore him, and will figure out what pleases you. You should turn sideways just as your canine is going to jump on you. Another way also to stop the dog from jumping is to stoop or kneel when greeting the dog. Since a person is higher, there is a tendency for the dog to jump onto him to greet or look at his face. Another way to stop the dog from jumping is to teach him other things like the “sit,” “stop” or other commands that would prevent it from jumping.

Each time the dog does something good, including not jumping, owners should constantly make an effort to praise or reward the dog. A nice way to reward the dog’s good actions is taking him for a walk or giving food. Avoid hurting or punishing the dog as this will not really help in teaching it not to jump. It should also be remembered that when using commands with dogs, owners should be consistent with the words or cues to avoid confusion.

The desired results can be achieved by the owners with the help of many methods. Owners just have to be patient and eager to teach their dogs properly. As it is with any type of training, even stopping the jumping you need to regard the relationship between you and your companion. The end results will only be accomplished if there is proper communication and understanding between you both.
