I use the ladder from getwag, and it works pretty well. A couple notes with it though.

If its wavy and bouncy it can and likely will come loose, so you have to keep an eye on it.

Make sure it's nice and square when the dogs use it, as the mounting arms are plastic, and are the weak link.

People can use it, but with careful consideration to go slow and not put any side load on its again because of the plastic arms.

In shallow water it can reach to the bottom, again causing it to be shifted and moved, so keep an eye on it.

Mine is 5 years old now and is still in great shape. I would order extra arms and have a 4 step ladder, that would help ensure its good for years to come
