Default accessibility for pets

does anyone seem to have trouble with getting their pets to jump onto the back seat area?

either with or without the seats folded down?

it seems that our dog has a hard time getting into the back by herself

any suggestions?

LOL. My dog gets in the back seat easier than my 5' wife gets in the front.

Check your local pet store or the Net. There are ramps for dogs.

Or try toss her favorite toy onto the backseat.

Hey, that's how I been getting my wife in the backseat! You mean it will work for the dog too?

Yep, just toss a milk bone. Works everytime. It's amazing how high a 5-pound Maltese can jump.

I'd die if my JRT jumped onto ANY seat... he sheds like he's going bald!?! (he actually has a pet taxi crate!)
