Use/Training
It is highly recommended that you train your dog where you can stand or float to the side as your dog gets used to WAG
Boarding Steps. Some dogs may try to wrap their legs around them like a tree trunk or reach up trying to pull
themselves up and stick their leg between the steps. Having your dog approach them straight on and spotting them to
keep their legs under their chest (like they do stairs at home) will get them comfortable with this new thing they have
never seen before. Once they are used to it, they will learn to come in from the side and do it with large objects in their
mouth. The steps can be pivoted completely out of the water or removed when not needed, but make sure they are in
place when the dog may enter the water. Periodically check for damage to the equipment and your dock. Remember,
WAG Boarding Steps are for
dog use only
.
Care and Maintenance

•
Periodically check mounting platform for damage. Repair as necessary.

All fasteners are stainless steel (except step rivets and washers which are aluminum). Check for loose or missing
fasteners prior to use and tighten or replace as necessary.
•
The plastic parts are formulated for outdoor use and have good impact resistance. Periodically check for
cracked parts and replace as necessary. Remove your step assembly when not in use and store out of direct
sunlight for maximum life.
