The geese here are quite used to the dogs in their territory. I have seen momma goose and all her goslings trail after a dog running a blind. They would follow along behind and then when the dog turned they would get out of the way until the dog passed them again and then start to follow. However, they can be tricky. The first time my very first dog encounter geese on a lake they lured her out to sea. They would take turns coming close then fly off a little way when Woodie went for them. They lured her half way across the lake before she gave up and came in.Geese I don't mind but I won't let the swans stay as they will attack the dogs.
