| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a possible way to control Canadian geese on golf courses. States that "one way of solving this problem is by investing in a canine goose hunter." Describes how "dogs are often appreciated for much more than the work they do on the course. They are great for enhancing staff morale and camaraderie." Explains that "geese love to inhabit open spaces that provide them with water and food, such as short, tender grasses, the main reason they love to traverse golf course greens." Further explains that "dogs work by giving a predatory stance towards the animals. The geese view this as an act of aggression and will immediately flee." Discusses the cost of training dogs, stating that "trained dogs can save superintendents thousands of dollars in prevention of turf damage compared to conventional methods." Concludes that "training a dog to work on the course requires team effort by family members, golf course staff and an acceptance and appreciation of the latter by golf course members." |
