How It Works/FAQ
The Watch Dog Goose Patrol Dog Decoy is on a spring that gives the dog a live-action and in some winds, the dog actually appears as if it is running.The movement of the dog decoy keeps pests away so you can enjoy your property again. Geese can be extremely messy. Their droppings get tracked indoors and can be a health hazard. After geese have been on the property, no one wants to walk around in their mess.
The Dog Decoy protects your property by keeping those messy geese away. In addition to geese, the dog decoy works for other pests, too. NOTE: The effectiveness of the product is based on the user's ability to follow product instructions of placement, height, and movement and adjust based on their properties' unique variances.
STEP 1
Besides the Dog Decoy, determine what accessory products you may need (if any).
STEP 2
Easy Setup
Make sure your pests are not around when you install your Dog Decoy. Shoo the pest away first, then install your Dog Decoy.
Ongoing maintenance.
The dogs should be periodically moved to different areas so the pests do not get used to them. Rule to go by: Move 'em when you Mow. Pulling up the wooden dowel and re-installing them 10 feet one way, or 15 feet another will keep them working. For easier moving, you can order the Wooden Base accessory so the dog can easily be picked up and moved to a slightly different area. The Wooden Base will eliminate the need to pound the dowel into the ground.
The dogs and wooden dowels need no other maintenance. Since the dogs are weather-resistant, they can be left out in all weather conditions - rain, snow, hail, etc. Exception: you may want to take the dogs in if hurricane or tornado conditions are expected.
If directions are followed, these dogs should continue to deter pests year after year. Note: The effectiveness of this product depends upon the users' ability to follow the product instructions of height, placement, and movement and to adjust based on the unique variances of their property.
IMPORTANT: The feet of the dog should be 3" - 4" off the ground. Any higher or any lower, the dog will not look realistic enough and may be ineffective.
