Continuous Improvement

WAG Signature Dog Bone
As we start our eleventh year of business, we have established WaterDog Adventure Gear® as the leader in dog ladders for a variety of applications.  Since inception, we have grown from one model to several based on listening to the needs of our customers.  Our mission to offer the best solutions on the market has been our guiding light.  We have also followed a philosophy of continuous improvement during that time.  When we see an opportunity to make an improvement to one of our existing products, we do so.  When those improvements were in response to a product performance issue (e.g., change to stainless steel step rivets on our pool dog ladders to prevent premature corrosion caused by chlorine), we have made those improvements available to our customers at no charge.

Several years ago, we announced a major improvement to our patented WAG Boarding Steps™ Model SLM-12 that significantly increased the number of boat swim ladders it can be attached to.  Incorporating lower mounting arms that telescope 8″ to provide both length and angle adjustment allows fitment to swim ladders of any angle and cross-member spacing while achieving approximately a 45 degree angle of the dog ladder.

Today, we announced a new model, WAG Boarding Steps™ Model PM-12, that will be our new standard for fixed and floating docks. The PM-12 attaches to the top of the dock and cantilevers into the water. It can pivot out of the water and fold in half when not in use to prevent marine growth. It can also be removed from its mounts with quick release pins.

As we move forward, improvement of existing products and introducing new ones will continue.  That is the only way you remain the best.
