Why does my dog hesitate to jump on my bed?

If your dog is getting old, she may have arthritis that makes it difficult to jump on the bed. Try providing her with a ramp or steps, and see if that helps her to get up. If your dog is not yet very old yet, you should consult a vet to see what is going on.
