Stop seagulls from pestering your business with our proven and effective dog-based deterrent service.
We use our fully trained and Insured Dogs to prevent Seagulls from swooping and attacking Guests while they are trying to eat, and prevent food being stolen. We also offer scent detection dogs to prevent seagulls nesting on your premises.
A New Way to Manage Pest Birds
Seagulls can be a real nuisance, from stealing food at outdoor cafes to creating health hazards with their droppings. We offer an effective and humane solution to manage pest birds using highly trained Border Collies and Kelpies.

How We Work
Our approach is simple and natural: we use the dogs' natural herding instincts to encourage birds to leave an area. The presence of the dogs creates a "predator" effect, teaching the seagulls that when the dogs are there, food is off-limits. This is a powerful, long-term solution that trains the birds to avoid your site.
For nesting issues, we take a proactive approach. Our trained scent dogs can locate hidden nests before eggs are laid. By finding these nests early, we can humanely encourage the birds to nest somewhere else, preventing future problems.
Our Expertise
Since 2018, we've perfected our method, turning bird control into an art form. Our dogs are trained to respond to specific commands, allowing us to manage flocks with precision. We can even identify and focus on a "boss" seagull, which helps keep the entire flock at bay.
Our professional, uniformed dog and handler teams are highly visible and have become a well-known sight. Our successful work at the Sydney Opera House has even gained us significant media attention.
Our trained dogs and handlers understand the behaviour of the seagulls, and know exactly what to do to keep them away. Our dogs are trained specifically to chase seagulls and are super social with people.
