nautiDAWGS

Built for the blind, the marsh, and the fifth retrieve of the morning

Waterfowlers asked for this before anyone else did. Every retrieve ends the same way: a soaked, tired dog at the gunwale, and somebody setting a gun down to haul them in over the side. The nautiDAWGS ladder ends that. Your dog climbs back into the boat on their own, and you stay in the pocket.

From a professional retriever kennel

“We have been using the ladder from NautiDawgs. We find it to be a very high quality product. The dogs learn quickly how to use this ladder. The depth of the steps makes it really user friendly. It folds up nicely. The quick detach mount makes it easy to remove or install. We use this ladder on our duck boat, and we will be using it extensively during duck hunting season.”

Works with your blind

The bracket mounts right through blind material: palm fronds, raffia grass, panels. The ladder drops into its guide clips in seconds and lifts off just as fast when you're running dark.

Made for tired dogs in cold water

9-inch grip steps and a ~45-degree walk-up angle mean a worn-out retriever climbs out fast. Less time in cold water, no clawing at the hull, no shoulder strain for either of you.

No snag hazards in a cramped boat

The mount is low-profile and smooth. Nothing sticks up off the deck to break a toe, catch a shell bag, or snag a dog moving fast when birds are working.

One ladder for the whole year

The bracket stays on the boat; the ladder lifts off in seconds. Add an extra bracket and the same ladder runs your duck boat in season, the pontoon all summer, and the dock at camp in between. Marsh and saltwater are fine. Rinse it when you rinse the boat.
