The Geese Police: A Furry Solution
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Across Central Indiana, office parks, medical facilities, and schools are battling a persistent, feathery foe: the Canadian goose. But a growing number of businesses have found a unique and adorable solution to this messy problem: the Geese Police of Central Indiana, armed with highly trained Border Collies!
Leading the charge is Sally Wyatt from Geese Police of Central Indiana, who, with her trusty (and fluffy!) Border Collie partner, Bear, engages in daily battles against these aggressive, feathered squatters. Bear, a seasoned veteran, has been on patrol at locations like Carmel Gateway since 2019, where a large pond makes it a prime goose hangout.
It’s not just about shooing them away; it’s a vital service. Canadian geese are notorious for their prolific droppings – nearly two pounds of disease-carrying poop per bird, per day! This creates unsanitary conditions and can pose health risks, making professional intervention crucial for public spaces.
Geese Police of Central Indiana brings over 30 years of combined experience to Canada Goose Management. Their secret weapon? Handpicked Border Collies like Bear, who are professionally trained to use their unique “eye” (a predator glance) and a specialized stalk to influence the geese. This behavior taps into the geese’s natural prey instinct, making them believe they’re in imminent danger and encouraging them to leave the property – all without ever touching the birds, which are protected by law. Even traditional Scottish commands are used to direct these intelligent canines!
From Carmel Gateway, which boasts new landscaping that also attracts these unwanted visitors, to other clients seeking cleaner environments, Sally and Bear provide a humane, environmentally friendly, and incredibly effective way to curb a “fowl” problem. They’re ensuring cleaner, safer spaces for everyone across Central Indiana.
