I have bought a ramp for one of my labs. She is reluctant to jump up into the back of my Isuzu Trooper. I find it difficult to lift her and not comfy for her either. She did some damage to her back end as a pup, though that doesn't stop her helicoptering all over the place.

Anyway, laid said ramp on the floor in the house for her to get used to walking on it. Totally refused to go anywhere near it. Cue other dog and two cats striding up and down it like seasoned top models.

Decided to try it on the vehicle, thinking she might use it, not wanting to be left behind, she loves going out and about.

Fitted ramp, fetched dogs, first girl strode up and sat to watch proceedings, second girl, after several goes on the lead made it quite clear she was having none of it. Took lead off, up she jumped, ignoring ramp, doh! Cue cats striding up and down again with one very smug girl looking on. Emptied car of cats and off we went.

Lots more practise needed.
 
How about putting the ramp up against the sofa (assuming you allow dogs on your furniture)? You could incorporate a command, like climb, so it becomes a bit of a game to her, and one she can win!
 
I don't need dogs or for that matter or cats help to look an idiot, I can do that all on my own tho' help is always appreciated!

Didn't think loading her would work but gave it a go anyway.

Dog more difficult to load than pony, who could be a pain, as dog is so wriggly.


I am sure a good buy as both girls are labs aged 9 & 6 so lots of years to make use of.
