So my Chihuahua is gonna need a way to get up and down my bed. She is to young and is not completely potty trained just yet. So I have some time to put together some type of contraption. What do you people do with mini chi’s and toy chi’s? mine is a standard size but she still wont be able to get on and off without help……..any suggestions?

Get pet stairs and put them next to your bed. They really work. When you first get them show them to her so she knows that they are ther for her. Good luck;^)

I would put her crate next to the bed and have her sleep there. When she is older you can buy or build a ramp up to the bed. Chi's can break their legs getting down off the bed !!!
Mine sleep in crates at the foot of my bed. If one need to go out sooner than expected she knocks on her crate door and I take her ou.

1. Do you really want your pet that is not fully potty trained in your bed yet? (You could get a crate - make a bed in one corner, potty spot in the other corner for the evening --and get a good night sleep without getting wet while sleeping.)
2. If you absolutely cannot do without you wonderful pet for the night a while, you could get the miniature pet stairs. Or if you are really creative make a dumb waiter with sides and 2 openings for him/her to enter/exit.

buy a set of those stairs that are sold at most petsmart ,petco whereever and teach her to use those . I live in an upstairs apt and my chi has learned to climb those stairs and they are like 20. I'm sure yours could manage 3 steps . good luck .

They make steps for pets for just this purpose, I saw some in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue. I'm sure you could probably get something like this at Petco it would be cheaper or better yet make some yourself.

Why do you want it on your bed? A dog really shouldn't be on a human bed at all, it's unhygienic, and if it's not HOUSE trained you're just asking for trouble. And once it poos or wees on your bed, just try stopping it!!!
