The waterside dog ladder is typically attached to a pier, dock, seawall or similar waterside structure that abuts a body of water. The dog ladder has a platform and a plurality of ladder sections. The length of the multiple ladder sections when connected end to end permits the dog ladder to extend from the platform to the water bottom. The dog ladder folds into a retracted position to completely remove the multiple sections from the water when not in use. The ladder is a positive-stop ladder so that each section folds until it hits a stop and provides a firm and solid footing for the dog at a predefined angle that the dog can manage. The rigid and solid feel makes the dog confident and relaxed when exiting the water.
