Training for the Active dog
Black River Bird Control
Black River Bird Control
Cory has trained working dogs for canine based rodent pest abatement for over 8 years now. He is well known for his working dogs that are a safe, environmentally sound method for controlling common farm pests and eliminating the use of poisons. They are highly sought after for organic farms.
In the last 5 years, Cory has become a licensed falconer, completing an apprenticeship, and become a general falconer. Again, his reputation for being able to train his dogs to work with his hawks as become well known. This sparked an intense interest in dog AND falconry-based bird abatement.
This spring Cory has joined Airstrike Bird Control to be able to offer his falconry and canine based bird abatement to larger commercial, industrial, agricultural settings.
