Are Dogs Effective as Goose Repellents?

Dogs trained to chase Canada Geese are a popular but ultimately short-term solution for deterring these birds from properties. Border Collies are typically deployed for this purpose, thanks to their natural herding instincts and responsiveness to commands. While these dogs may scare geese away temporarily by agitating them rather than attacking, their effectiveness is limited. Since geese are highly intelligent, they quickly learn that the threat disappears when the dog leaves, meaning they often return shortly after. Additionally, these services can cost over $100 per day, which adds up quickly—especially when you consider the need for ongoing visits.

While it may seem like a quick fix, relying on dogs is neither practical nor sustainable. The cost and effort required to arrange daily visits can become a major burden, and the solution is rarely long-lasting. In the end, it’s a costly and inefficient approach.

In contrast, Away With Geese provides a smarter, more effective, and sustainable solution. Our units emit a 360-degree light from dusk to dawn, disrupting geese’s sleep and encouraging them to move on. This method works not only to prevent new geese from settling in, but also to deter established, resident geese. Unlike dogs, which only offer temporary deterrence, our solution ensures that geese view your property as permanently unsuitable. With a one-time cost, minimal maintenance, and a Satisfaction Guarantee, Away With Geese is a cost-effective, hassle-free, and long-term solution for goose control. Make the smart choice—invest in a solution that works, saves you money, and requires no daily effort.
