to Dingo and at one time had nine Goose Busters in my house. I’ve learned a
ton from training the dogs on geese and I have ruined a few, but found great homes for
those that did not
have “fun” chas-
ing geese. It’s all
about the FUN.
Although Goose
Bustin’ is a job
and I make a liv-
ing, if a dog does
not like it, have
fun doing it or
‘turn on’ to the
chase, I’ve come
to understand
that. Those dogs
have been few and far between, but I have to think about the business first and I cannot
afford to keep a dog that does not pull its weight. Besides if it’s NOT fun for the dog, it’s
not fun for me.
Sometimes I think I’ve been doing this way too long. I know more than anybody wants
or needs to know about Canada Geese and their habits.
These days, once a client is on our schedule, we hit the road and off to work we go. We
visit some properties up to six times a day. Thankfully the clients are local because gas
for the van does not come cheap, but the crew works for treats which is a nice trade off.
Most companies that contract my service have a year round problem with Canada geese
but some we service for only a few weeks a year. There are over 800,000 resident
Canada geese in
the State of NJ.
These ‘resident’
geese no longer
know how to mi-
grate and unlike
the migratory
flocks are a con-
stant problem. I
think the geese
have come to
know and love NJ
