How to get my #### dog in the truck...?

.
LMAO

If my Boston Terrior is willing to give it a shot on her own. Surely that big ### dog of yours will try.

Many trucks have steps that are slightly offset. Many dogs adjust to using them. And I've seen drivers use milk crates, as a booster.

BTW, my Terrior nearly broke her neck coming out of the truck. And body slammed the ground at least a half dozen times, trying to get in.

 

I would think a set of those collapsible ramps from Lowe's or Home Depot should work - with a strip of carpet remnant for padding

 

Google pet ramps or pet stairs. The links I gave got removed.

Here is a picture of the one I really like, made for a big truck, but there are lots of different retailers that offer ramps that fold up for storage.



Now this is a pretty cool invention bepaws it isn't for "regular" trucks humans but for those big 18-wheel hauling jobs for those of you who LOVE to haul with your pets, WOOF! Sometimes it's just too doggone hard to try and lift your big dogs or even medium sized dogs into the big rigs, especially those with disabilities or older dogs who just don't have the jump in them anymore, but some smart truck driver by the name of Harold Heartsill decided he wasn't going to continue to do without his personal fur fix due to a simple little ol' job, hehe. petramp1


pet ramps.....but I lift mine in, he puts his front paws on the top step, I wipe them, lift him up, which he helps, he kind of jumps as I lift, then wipe the back paws.

 

I would try rigging up a ramp system for her, beautiful girl by the way!!
I have three Cane Corso mastiffs but I do not take them, not because I wouldn't want to, they all love riding. My one female I think as ADD she would go stir crazy in a confined space. My other female I rescued from a very abusive situation and she is very nervous and it would scare her. My male would be perfect but he has allergy's, not sure how he would handle it, Plus he has been very good for my female that is a nervous girl. She has become very close to him.

 

Get an 8 foot 2"x10" & cut and hinge it in the middle then staple or tack carpet on it. Fold it out for entry & fold it up to store it. You can strap it down on your cat-walk area or secure it tightly in your sleeper somewhere... 2"x10" should be wide enough if not go with either 2"x12" or rip down a double thickness of 3/4 inch plywood..use a good hinge that can be cut or already is nearly the full width of your ramp..

 

Perfect! I have a 10yr old Australian Cattle Dog who isn't as nimble as he once was, this ramp would be ideal.

 

Not sure this will work for you but here's what I used to do with my German Shepherd; He would put his front paws up on the floor, I put my right arm under his belly, left hand on his back paw, and somehow we worked together, he'd lift off and I'd assist. Worked the first time and everytime. The worse part was that he always jumped down, (yes, he even jumped from the open window a time or two when he just had to go!) and he eventually started to "complain" when he hit the ground. He got arthritis in his front "ankles."
Here's a suggestion that worked for me, too. I used to use small haircutting scissors and clipped the hair around his paws so he didn't drag so much dirt in. And just before I lifted him I used a wash cloth to wipe his paws. It's amazing how much that helped.
God bless. Hope the best for you and your buddy.
