Setting the Standard for Goose Dog Certification
An exclusive invitation to the professionals shaping the future of our industry.
There is no certification body for goose dog handlers. No standard. No accountability framework. The industry you have built stands unprotected -- and that is about to change.
Rigorous Certification
Video-based verification with independent third-party auditors. Dogs certified separately ($395, valid 3 years). Handlers certified separately ($295, annual renewal).
Market Authority
100,000-200,000 annual visitors. Unmatched topical authority on geese and goose control. SEO weight flowing to certified providers.
Business Value
Featured provider positioning in your city. Competitive bid advantage. A transferable business asset you own for life.
THE CHALLENGE
An Industry Without a Standard
Dog-based goose control is the most effective method available for managing one of the most dynamic wildlife problems in existence. But it is also the riskiest -- because you are using animals to control other animals, in public view, with multiple stakeholders depending on the outcome.
There is no certification body. There is no industry standard. And every operation you run sits in that gap.
Five Stakeholders, One Standard
Consider what is at stake. Five groups are affected every time a dog enters the field: the handler, the goose control company, the client, the general public, and the geese themselves. Each of these stakeholders carries distinct risk. A single incident can cascade across all five.
And yet there is no framework governing any of it.
The opportunity is clear. Self-regulation gets the industry ahead of external regulation. A certification framework built by operators -- not imposed by outsiders -- becomes the template that government bodies can reference. If the industry regulates itself well enough, external regulation becomes unnecessary.
This is about protecting your profession. Defining what good looks like. And ensuring that the most effective goose management method available is not legislated out of existence because no one bothered to set a standard.
This is exactly why NAGA exists.
THE SOLUTION
Introducing NAGA
NAGA -- the North American Goose Dog Association -- is the certification authority for goose control operators who use handlers and dogs. Its mission is straightforward: establish a rigorous, verifiable standard that the industry controls and the market trusts.
Certification becomes part of your competitive bid. When a large client is researching goose control providers in your city -- and the large ones always do the research -- your NAGA certification is a decisive differentiator. If you have passed your requirements and your competitor has not, the selection bias favors you.
Dogs must be recertified every three years. Handlers must recertify annually to remain covered and listed. This ensures the standard holds over time -- not just at the point of sale.
Here is how the certification process works in practice.
THE PLATFORM
How Certification Works
The NAGA platform handles both the certification workflow and the public-facing marketing engine. The process is clean, transparent, and independently verified at every step.
Shoot certification videos of each dog and handler team in the field. Show your border collies working real job sites -- golf courses, corporate campuses, municipal properties.
Upload your certification videos directly through the NAGA platform. Each dog-handler team is certified independently, so submit one video per team.
An independent third-party expert reviews and scores each video submission. Not a member. Not your competitor. A qualified, impartial professional evaluating real fieldwork.
Certification is issued and your team graduates into the NAGA directory. If a submission does not pass, you receive detailed feedback and can re-shoot and re-submit.
Your certified teams appear on the public directory in your chosen city -- feeding your local city page listing and signaling verified status to every prospect who finds you.
But certification is only half the story. The platform also builds your city-level presence.
THE MARKETING ENGINE
100,000+ Visitors/month. Your City. Your Advantage.
The NAGA platform is not just a certification tool. It is a massive content authority on everything goose control -- built to own the entire category online. There will be very few websites on the internet with more specific topical authority when it comes to geese and goose control in the United States.
NAGA becomes the reference site for geese and goose control nationwide. Its links carry considerable weight in search. Being certified and featured on this platform does wonders for your local representation when people are searching for goose control in your city.
This authority is concentrated on city-specific directory pages -- and here is what those look like.
THE DIRECTORY
Your City. Your Page. Your Position.
This is not a flat directory. Every major city in the United States gets a dedicated page, targeting local search terms. When someone searches for goose control in your city, this page will appear in the top three to five results -- and it will be clicked on as a resource link to research providers.
These pages become the reference point clients use to make a buying decision.

Major cities are covered by default. Minor cities can be added on request with a small labor fee for custom page creation.
The featured spot is where the real competitive advantage lives. Here is what it includes.

This positioning gives you leverage in price negotiations and an edge when terms are equal. Even if a prospect calls every provider on the page, they are primed to view the featured company as the stronger choice.
LIMITED TIME OFFER
Stop Competing. Start Owning.
Right now, your competitors are one bid away from taking your featured position. The auction means you never stop paying, never stop competing, and never have certainty. The Market Buyout and Founder Package change that -- permanently. But this window closes in 14 days.
| COMPARE | AUCTION | BUYOUT · $3,500 | FOUNDER · $5,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guaranteed Position | |||
| No Recurring Auction Fees | |||
| Competitor-Proof Position | |||
| Lifetime Handler Certs for 2 ($590+/yr value) | |||
| 3 Cities Included ($10,500 buyout value) | |||

Why the Founder Package Is Worth More Than It Costs
3 cities at $3,500 each = $10,500. Lifetime handler certs for 2 people = $590/year saved permanently. You pay $5,000. The savings are overwhelming from day one.
This is not an expense. It is a piece of search real estate your business owns permanently. The featured position is transferable -- you can put any company in that slot. When you sell your business, this position goes with it.
Without the buyout, you are back in the auction every cycle. Your competitors bid. Prices climb. And you never know if you will hold your spot. The buyout ends that uncertainty for good.
This offer closes May 5, 2026. After that, these packages leave the market -- permanently.
THE INVITATION
Selected. Not Solicited.
This page is not being shared widely. You are seeing it because the NAGA board recognizes your experience and believes you have something to contribute -- not just financially, but in shaping the direction of this certification body.
This is not a marketing campaign. It is a personal invitation to a select group of industry professionals.
NAGA already has core funding to move forward. This is not about survival -- it is about broadening the founding base and sharing the benefits with the right people. If the founder positions are not taken up, the core founders absorb them and the benefits they carry.
The people invited are here because they can benefit economically, yes -- but also because they will pull their weight in shaping the big decisions. The best certification body is one built by the best operators.
