ABOUT US

 
To train Goose Dogs takes skill and knowledge. We have 28 years of combined experience in training dogs to work with livestock. We both compete at the Open level of competition in sheep dog trials across the United States.
Let's go - away from here! Mike is the 1999/2002 President of the United States Border Collie Handlers Association. This is the National Organization that sets the rules for the sheep dog trials across North America as well as sponsoring and running the National Finals.
Mike and Jan are respected members of the Border Collie Community.
There are other trainers in the US & Canada that are qualified to train dogs to the high standards to meet the demands of Canadian Geese control. If you are buying a goose dog, look for your trainers name under the alphabetical listing at: http://www.usbcha.com.
Beware of someone that wants to sell a dog that they can't demonstrate the dog working either in person or on a tape. Poorly trained dogs can get very expensive if they won't get the job done. Ask what the dog can do. If problems develop, is follow-up support available?
Unless the dog is expertly trained he may revert to uncontrolled chasing of the birds possibly leading to injury of the geese or the dog itself.

Goose take of

We also have a program in place to correct problems in goose dogs that have been purchased from others. Or if requested, we can come to your site and train your employees in the art of goose control. All of our dogs come with a tape in which you will see the dog working and you can hear the commands that the dog knows such as: go to the right, go to the left, stop, get closer to the geese, get in the water and recall to the handler. Commands are by voice or whistle if needed, for airports or near highways where noise levels can be high.
We have many dogs for sale at any one time so we can match the correct dog to the your situation. Your satisfaction is our most important product. We know our dogs will work for you. 
With a highly trained goose dog your success is guaranteed. Mike and Jan Canaday  559/935-8309 or our cell phone  254/722-8776        Click here to  e-mail Mike & Jan at Goosedog.com
