They don't mind you walking their shoreline, but further inland they do mind. I'm wondering if they still have the nene goose sanctuary on the grassy bluff near Shipman's beach. If they do, we would hope the dogs that people bring along when hiking don't bother the birds there.

not true. suggest you check it out. Manager of Shipman Properties told me all paths are open to walkers, not just shoreline.
Yes, the nene are there.
Around the actual landscaped estate no public allowed.
this includes the nene sanctuary.
In addition, it is clearly posted that no dogs and no people are allowed in the nene area. So your concerns about dogs getting there are addressed by the estate signs right along the landscaped estate area.
In front of this compound area is the beach where dogs are allowed but sign requests that dogs be leashed on the beach and not venture onto the lawn property.
I go there often and it is no problem with others who have dogs. As far as I can tell everyone has respected keeping their dogs away from nene land.
