About Us

Flyaway Geese® is a national leader in humane goose control, using highly trained Border Collies to safely and effectively manage Canada geese on commercial properties, parks, schools, and government sites.

• Handle and work alongside a trained Border Collie
• Use humane hazing techniques to move geese off-site
