North Ayrshire dog park hopes to expand services

Dog park Greenhead Bark Park in Stevenston, North Ayrshire, is seeking permission to expand its facilities to provide training and daycare services.

A supporting statement lodged with its application said: “There is a high demand for dog daycare locally and most establishments are at maximum capacity, with waiting lists and are unable to take on new clients.

“Given that we are already operating an existing secure dog exercise area on the same location, we feel we are well equipped to provide this service – offering a caring environment with adequate outdoor space for exercise and training, as well as indoor space to create opportunities for mental and sensory stimulation.”

Modular buildings taken from another site would be installed and renovated on its land, with doggy daycare services operating Monday-Friday within them.

The supporting statement added: “During evenings and weekends, it is our intention to utilise the same building to offer dog training classes and workshops.

“This will allow us to provide services that are in demand and offers an indoor alternative where the weather does not support an outdoor class in the field.”
