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.
