She has been working with dogs in some capacity since 2011 and started working with Goose Masters in 2017.

MEET THE HANDLER, DAVID
Experience runs deep as David Bennett has a background in cutting horses and working cattle dogs. He used his dogs to move cattle way before he thought of using goose dogs. However, David is no stranger to Canada goose control; while working for a high-end corporate facility in Jacksonville, Florida, for over 30 years, David and his staff battled troublesome Canada geese and the mess they left behind. Using all sorts of tactics that only resulted in frustration and only marginal results. David finally found the Kuykendall’s and their fantastic Border Collies when he and his wife Sharon began Goose Masters of Northeast FL.
