We have a two year old Embden Gander who is not quite right. He has been ok about utility workers and UPS/Fed Ex deliveries to come in our fenced in yard. Children can come in and he talks to them as if he is telling them the rules of the yard and then goes on with his business. We have recently aqquired 6 toulouse babies which some days those are his kids and some days he could not be bothered.
To get to the gist, had a friend who had to leave an abusive relationship has come to live with us. Unfortuately she cannot go into the yard without being harrassed by Jesse. I have seen him target her and go as far as hard biting causing her to have bruises. She has tried everything from giving him treats to running at him instead of away. I know that geese can sense fear, but can geese sense where someone has been abused? My female does not have this problem and will even come up and let our roommate pet her. Also our friend is on the small side. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Any advise to keep my friend from being abused any more ( by my goose) would be appreciated.
