Who are we?
Sherri Hall founded and began operations of BBB in 2003 after a few years of studying goose behavior and their response to K-9s. Faced with the growing problem of nuisance birds and their impact on groundskeeping operations, several legal options are currently available. These include noise products, chemical and visual repellents, as well as extensive fencing (read more here about comparative services). However, these methods can also prove intrusive even dangerous under many circumstances. BBB offers a more effective alternative. Over the next few years, Sherri developed a natural environmentally safe goose control program. She has spent many hours researching all the latest techniques/methods and has proven dogs are the only successful method. Understanding the need for cost effective services, BBB strives to custom taylor a goose control program best suited for your facility. Our professional handlers/K-9's are trained to provide the most efficient, ethical goose control services available today. We ensure that appropriate permits and control practices as regulated by Canadian Wildlife Service (see more about Canadian Wildlife Services here). Local bylaws are respected at all times and control services are conducted in the safest and least intrusive manner possible. Strategies include daily K-9 patrols, habitat modifications, egg oiling and laser use.
