Amendment to Wichita’s leash law opens new opportunities for local business

Chris Stoneberger and his dog Quinn are ready to get their business going. Goose Troopers is it’s name, and their mission is to clear geese from public places using trained dogs like his.

They are next to ponds around the city, in residential neighborhoods and along the sidewalks next to the Arkansas River. Wherever they go they aren’t unnoticed by most citizens, especially the feces they leave behind.

“I occasionally have to dodge it,” said Alex Beck, a jogger on the sidewalks next to the Arkansas River. “I just kind of work around it, I’m used to it by now.”
