We took in a young rescue 71 lb. German Shepherd back on 12/19 and it’s looking like he may be a keeper.
There is still a few months to go before boating season but I’m starting to think about how to get him on and off the boat at my dock.
I’ve got a side tie dock, in a high tide he will probably have to go on and off the swim platform which will be lower than the dock, and in high tide when the platform is way too low to get on and off he will have to go on and off the gunwale and in to/out of the cockpit.
I’m imagining a lightweight portable ramp. Something that folds in half or something so that we can take it with us on the boat when we leave the dock with him.
I don’t want to spend a fortune on it in case he hates the boat.
Does anyone have any experience with this that can offer a solution?
