Default How to stop Her from her from Plopping

Long story short Luxie has mild HD vet says we caught it early But the vet and radiologist have looked at her front elbow x rays and are concerned she might have a trochlear notch lesion and maybe some small fractures in her elbows.... when lux goes to lay down probably (30-50) times a day she basically plops down and falls on her elbows first and her bones hit the wooden floors. Vet says this could have caused the lesion and the fast wear and tear on her elbows. Does anyone know how I get her to lay down easily? I mean she voluntarily lays down hard basically plopping down whenever she wants to rest. I have no idea how to fix this and I thought to look here first before I try to find a trainer to stop this habit. Hope yall can help! Thanks Ryan
