When I couldn't find sturdy stairs in the correct size, I started looking at ramps and chose this one based on the positive reviews and the video another reviewer posted. Using roast beef as a high-incentive treat, I walked him around and on the ramp while it was on the floor before moving to the car, and it worked like a charm! Take an extra 5 minutes to do the intro correctly if your dog is a scaredy-cat like mine; it makes all the difference. He likes the ramp so much he even lays on it in the back of the car!  The ramp isn't lightweight but it's doable; it's sturdy and doesn't bounce. The surface provides traction even in wet weather. Really glad I purchased this ramp!
