I have tried the shooting the water with pelet gun it works for a while but they still made it to the lawn & laid waste! I trained the dog also but as soon as he comes in, they make a landing again. So I made swan decoys, they work so good all the geese left! they used to fly in all day long bathing eating crapping every were, not now! If some do land they are so skiddish they soon leave. my neighbor puts out corn for the geese ( she's a pain ) but nothing is eating it but squirrels. The aggresive posture works the best, hard to find a true aggresive decoy. If they do land in the water they stay far away from our yard. Anbody interested let me know, they are made out of pine & hollowed out. They also have a keel that makes them swim instead of just spinning in place.
