Goose Dog Training

We begin the training for our Goose Control Dogs by careful selection; if the raw material isn't right, the end product won't be, either.

It is essential that these dogs come from strong working lines with an exceptional work ethic. They also must have temprements that make them easy for an average, non-dog person to handle and work.

All of our Goose Dogs are strong and seasoned swimmers, since geese will often avoid a dog by heading into the water. With our dogs, that's not a problem.

Contrary to many goose dog providers, we provide a solid foundation of actual herding training. This includes general obedience, and livestock work - on land as well as in the water.

Why? Dogs trained strictly "on the goose job" degenerate into chasing behavior; and that is, quite simply, bad form. It's bad for your customers to see, it's bad for the dog's long term working ability, and it's bad for maintaining control over the dog.

But, dogs with a solid foundation training in herding have learned to do the job right and to be self-reward by doing the job right; and that professionalism carries through.
