Thank you so much for organizing and leading the Ottawa trip and for encouraging
me to come! I'd be terrified before each rapid, but once I was in it, I loved
it, even upside-down. The people, camping, food, and support were all wonderful.
Thanks for making it happen

WaterDogs/Rob does a great job making me/other students feel SAFE and comfy
on the water and in the boat. All of the extra help has been awesome. Canada
was the best trip I ever went on. I learned so, so much with the help of very
proficient paddlers. The river is great, WaterDogs is great, and I'll be paddling
the Ottawa for many years to come. . .with WaterDogs of course!!

WaterDogs has been very helpful to me. They have provided great instruction
with endless patience. I have made a whole new group of great friends that
I hang out with and who are always willing to take me out on the river.

The instructors of WaterDogs pushed me to do things I never thought I could
do. They knew better than I did all of the things I could achieve. Upon seeing
some of the rapids, I thought there was no way I would make it through but
Rob would (somehow) convince me to do it and I always made it through. On
the flip-side, Rob never once pushed me to do something I didn't have the
skills for. I learned so much about kayaking that year, but even more about
believing in myself.
