Our 3 rescue dogs (13 yo Boxer mix, 8 yo Beagle, 7 yo Terrier mix) adapted to this very quickly. (But the manufacturer does include some tips on how to train your dog to use it.) It's easy to fold, but may weigh more than some are used to lifting. It also has a spring-lock securing tab when it's stored. Easy clean-up too. Only drawback is you need some depth to use this. I have to pull my vehicle 3 feet out of our shallow garage, set up the ramp, then load in all 3 dogs.
