This is the Original Skamper-Ramp
Every year in the U.S. thousands of family pets needlessly drown in swimming pools, ponds, lakes.  Raccoons, possums, squirrels, frogs, chipmunks, mice, cats, etc. also drown. 
Pools are dangerous for pets!

The odds of a pet drowning, according to the American Pet Association, are approximately one out of 1,028 each year in the US alone, and over 53% of pet owners have a pool and/or spa.

The problem with water hazard is very real but equally preventable.
When a pet or other animal jumps or falls in the water, they can swim for a while (some more than others) but, without a way out, they can drown from exhaustion brought on by panic or fatigue. The fact is, pools are perilous for pets and no pool owner wants anything to drown in their pool, whether it is a critter or, more especially, a pet that is considered an important part of a family! Though some drownings occur by day, they occur most often at night leaving the pool owner or lakefront resident with that cruel surprise of a dead pet or animal floating in their pool or pond.

If a pool fence or door is left open, if there is no protective fence or cover, or if no one is around to hear an alarm when an animal gets in, what then? No matter how careful you are, there is always the possibility that something can happen.

In the case of vinyl-lined pools, one of the more expensive things to replace or repair is the vinyl liner. And this is especially frustrating when the damage was caused by a frantic animal trying to escape from drowning! What can prevent this occurrence? Leaving a Skamper-Ramp installed to make sure no critter is trapped and punctures your liner.

Training Your Dog To Use The Doggy Boat Ladder Like A Boat Ramp

Most dogs learn how to use the Doggy Boat Ladder by Paws Aboard very quickly, because it is just like a ramp that conveniently extends below the surface of the water to reach a swimming dog's feet. Dogs naturally look for a way to get out of the water once they are done retrieving a toy, duck or completing a refreshing swim. To help in the training process here are 2 easy steps to follow:

It's easy to train your pet to use The Doggy Boat Ladder! Click for more training photos submitted to our Pet Portrait Gallery.
 
Step #1
Once you have moved out to the water simply attach the ladder to your craft and begin enticing your pet to use the ramp by placing treats on the ladder rungs and call your  pet as he is swimming back to the boat. 

Step #2
Gradually move the placement of treats up the ladder rungs until the only treat left is sitting just above the ramp on the edge of the boat. Always praise your pet for using the ladder and encourage them with verbal commands. 

Once your pet feels confident in using the ladder they will start using it to exit the boat on their own with little to no training needed.
