Founded in 1997, Geese Relief, LLC is a Connecticut-based company that specializes in humane Canada goose control. The company was created to address the challenges faced by groundskeepers, property managers, and homeowners in managing nuisance Canada geese that could potentially ruin beautifully maintained properties. Geese Relief employs specially trained border collies, renowned for their herding abilities, to effectively deter geese without harming them. The founder, Chris, began this venture with his first border collie, Laine, and the team has since expanded to include seven professionally trained handlers and ten trained dogs.
The services provided by Geese Relief are designed to be environmentally safe, humane, and cost-efficient, catering to a wide range of clients including farms, schools, parks, golf courses, and municipal properties. Their approach not only focuses on removing the geese but also on educating property owners about maintaining their environments to discourage geese from returning. Clients benefit from a reduction in the excessive fecal matter left by the birds, which can pose health risks and diminish the aesthetics of their properties.
Geese Relief’s team members are trained under the guidance of Kent Kuykendall, a respected border collie handler, ensuring top-notch skills in their dogs and effective management of goose populations. The company also offers free estimates and demonstrations to showcase their unique solution to potential customers, affirming their commitment to delivering quality service while preserving the beauty of landscapes across Connecticut. Through their innovative service, Geese Relief helps clients enjoy their outdoor spaces free from the drawbacks of large goose populations.
