Dog ramp

[AndyG35]

Hi there, has anyone come across a good dog ramp to use on a motor boat (I have 2 labs)?

All mine have been taught to climb the rear s/s steps.

Thanks for your reply. I’m referring to getting them in and out of of the water.

It works if there is 2+ steps under the water.

We have dog life jackets with good strong handles and a boarding plank.

The older one was pushed off the plank by the younger one and went for a swim

The LF handles were a godsend in finally grabbing her and getting back on to the pontoon.

yeah tried that last summer, but a wet lab retriever gets pretty heavy, it took 2 of us + handles on the lifejacket to lever her out

We once saw a German yacht in Greece with its passerelle lowered down so that the end was in the water. A boisterous labrador (type) was running along the decks to the bows, hurling itself off into the water, swimming round to the stern and then climbing back up the passerelle. Time after time.
