Use/Training
It is highly recommended that you train your dog in shallow water where you can stand 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) the first few times 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. Periodically check for damage to the equipment and your boat or dock. Remember, WAG
Boarding Steps are for
dog use only
.
Care and Maintenance
Your new WAG Boarding Steps are constructed from high-quality materials that should provide years of enjoyment.
•
All of the fasteners are stainless steel or aluminum. Check for loose or missing fasteners prior to use and tighten
or replace as necessary.
•
The metal parts are anodized aluminum extrusions which offer excellent stiffness for their weight. Periodically
check for bent or cracked parts and 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.
•
Floatation material, (4) pieces in each of the top (3) steps, should be replaced immediately if damaged or
missing. If your dog's nails tend to push the floatation material out of the pockets, it can be secured with a
couple of drops of adhesive.
