The Ultimate Solution for unwanted goose guests!

Who's in control here?

The Problem: Migratory birds, including Canada Geese, have found a new habitat on the trimmed grounds and ponds of golf courses, parks, corporate facilities, school grounds, neighborhoods and cemeteries. The goose droppings, approximately one pound each day per bird, create a health hazard as well as an unsightly mess.

Because most of these birds are protected by federal law, the Federal Department of Agriculture requires humane methods, such as harassment by dogs, to eliminate the problem.

Factoids:
The "Canada" in Canada Geese does not refer to the country but to the man for whom this bird was named. Thus "Canadian Geese" is an incorrect reference.

Geese can be very aggressive in water and on land. They have been known to attack both dogs and people. Happily, with the proper training, none of Dave's dogs have been beaten by the geese.

The Ultimate Solution: Jenkins' Hillside Border Collies are recommended by Ohio's Department of Natural Resources. Our goose-chasing dogs are skillfully trained to harass, not harm, birds of all types. This causes the flocks to move on to some other location.

Why and How? The border collies' love of/and passion for work, eagerness to please and ability to stalk by using its "eye" to mesmerize the flock into flight make them an ideal tool to combat the problem. They truly have become the Ultimate Solution for the job.
