About Us
Cathy Benedict has been training Border Collies for the effective, humane, management of Canada geese since 1998.
With over 2 decades of experience and a passion for customer service, Cathy has built a reputation for excellence in both the dogs she trains, and the services she provides to her clients.
Offering fully managed Canada goose control for homeowner's associations, business parks, common areas and individual business operations, the Goose Rangers team keep people safe and happy from aggressive and messy geese populations.
Cathy also sells trained Border Collies for the humane management of Canada geese to golf courses, parks and larger properties that benefit from continuous oversight at a more competitive price point.
Cathy owns a 3rd business called Sniffspot Peaceful Acre, which rents out her amazing back area of her property as a private dog park for dogs and their owners who prefer not to have other dogs around their dogs.
Although Cathy is no longer actively engaged with the Humane Society of the United States , deploying for animal rescues after natural disasters and in animal cruelty cases, she gives back to her community in other ways. Cathy is known for donating all or part of her Sniffspot monthly income elsewhere. This past Christmas (2022), she funded a Christmas feast in the slums of Kibera, in Kenya, Africa, to help Kibera community leader Kevin Benard Ochieng. See the video here. Cathy also enjoys horseback riding, hanging out with friends, and traveling abroad.
