We are are a group of dog owners, who are aware of the positive impact dog ownership has on physical and mental well being.
We are keen to promote responsible dog ownership, training and education for all ages and abilities in humans and dogs.
Description
We are keen to enhance the dog owning experience on the island by providing agility training for all ages and abilities. This will help with social isolation (group work), build confidence by helping people train their dogs, help with physical exercise and coordination. This is in addition to our current work with owners, puppies and older dogs. Some of our members are mobility impaired, elderly and live alone. We have Kennel Club trainers from mainland North Ayrshire who regularly assist us.
The funding would be spent as follows:-
£800 on Dog Agility equipment:
Aluminium Jump £90
Tyre Jump £395
Tunnel £255
We have been advised that delivery will be approx £200
£200 for a storage facility.
Location: We are a group of volunteers aiming to run a low cost not for profit facility that is a local, self funded from start up community initiative. There has been a massive increase in the dog population on the island, and since the previous Kennel Club trainer left the island in 2019, it has left a void until we managed to get trainers from the mainland over.
seems a very useful use of a site that has been derelict for some considerable time and with both Auchrannie and Lamlash courts in excellent condition there is capacity for tennis players but none for dog training.. As a great many Island residents have dogs but not so many play tennis regularly, this seems a reasonable investment. (I do not have a dog and I do not play tennis)
