I just had an idea, Motrose has 2 lifts. This larger I bought has straps and clip fasteners (as on the snap collars) that go across the back.
With one of thse you could just cut off the handles, clip the straps around the dog and Voila!
I tried it on Dylan, small problem, it is the Med size, which is too long for him....it covered his doodle.
Something that could be worked on though. The lift, not his doodle.
