How to Assemble Doggy Steps

Most doggy steps come with snap-together pieces that anyone can assemble. Even if you have lost your instructions for doggy steps, or have purchased the pieces second-hand without instructions, you can put them together in just a few steps.

Instructions

    • 1

      Set out your doggy step pieces on a flat work surface like a tabletop or the floor.

    • 2

      Pile similar pieces together. There should be several flat pieces that look like steps, and should be two triangle-shaped pieces that look like the sides of a staircase. There might be a fleece covering as well. Some doggy step sets will come with screws or bolts, but most will not.

    • 3

      Lay one of the triangle shaped pieces down on the work surface so the flat or "outside" side is facing down.

    • 4

      Find the slots or grooves where the flat step pieces, and flat back-of-step pieces should slide.

    • 5

      Slide in the flat step pieces first. If there are perpendicular pieces attached to these, to form the back-of-step pieces, they will connect. If not, find the flat back-of-step pieces and slide them into the slots.

    • 6

      Attach screws or bolts, if your doggy steps came with these.

    • 7

      Pull the fleece cover over top of the steps, and secure it at the bottom with the tie-downs or the pieces of elastic attached to the fleece cover.
