@jrbauco21 I bought a really good ramp on Chewy.

@natsu Where did you get the idea that discourse wasn't welcome? If I did so, I apologize. I do hope that you understand that an e-collar is for reinforcing distance commands BEFORE they are needed, so that if the dog runs out without the collar, they have a solid recall. The e-collar isn't...

@christianforumperson At her advanced age, it's important to take the dog to the vet and have an honest discussion about quality of life. Struggling to get up, falling, and inability to control bowel movements might be good indicators that her time is coming. I'm so sorry.
