One Lucky Lab Has a New Job and Fans

Sometimes geese settle in where they aren’t wanted. This was the case at the Tarrytown House Estate & Conference Center, overlooking the Hudson River Valley. The conference center is the nation’s first, established in 1840.
Tarrytown was relying on a border collie service to encourage geese to leave their property. The dog would come in once a week to keep the “guests” away. However, they found that this just wasn’t enough to keep migrating geese off their lush lawn.
“We decided we really needed a full-time staffer to deal with this problem, and that’s when we adopted Lady,” said Joe Santore, General Manager. Lady is a one-year-old black Labrador Retriever who couldn’t be happier with her new job. She lives on the estate and has proven to be a valuable asset to the conference center.
But that’s not all. She has fans! As a friendly greeter to the guests in addition to a geese controller, Lady has a fan club, Facebook page and email address: lady (at) tarryhouse.com!
