Happier dogs, calmer walks,
total peace of mind
From puppy classes and agility to dog walking, boarding and pet sitting, Leading Paws cares for your dog like one of the family across Kent.
What does your dog need today?
Two things we do brilliantly.
Train my dog
Puppy classes, agility, scentwork and behaviour help to build the dog you always wanted. Kind, reward-based methods that actually stick.
Care for my dog
Walking, pop-ins, boarding and sitting for when life gets busy. Trusted, insured and DBS checked care you can count on.
Everything your dog needs
Training, care and everything in between, all from one trusted local team.
Local, qualified and genuinely dog mad
Leading Paws was built by a dog lover, for dog lovers. Here is why Kent owners keep coming back.
Local and personal
Based across Maidstone and West Malling. You get Lizzie, not a call centre. Local knowledge, familiar faces and a genuine relationship with your dog.
Kind, reward-based methods
Every session is built on positive reinforcement. No harsh words, no intimidation. Just clear communication that your dog understands and enjoys.
Fully insured and DBS checked
Comprehensive pet business insurance, DBS clearance and ongoing professional development so you can hand over the lead with complete confidence.
Trusted Kent venues
Classes run at Squirrells Riding School near Maidstone and West Malling Village Hall. Clean, safe and familiar to local dogs and owners.
How it works
Getting started is easier than you think.
Get in touch and tell us about your dog
Call, email or fill in a quick form. Tell us a little about your dog, what they are like and what you would love to work on. No judgement, no pressure.
We build the right plan or class for you
We match you to the best class, session or care arrangement for your dog's age, breed and personality. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere that is.
You relax while your dog thrives
Attend classes, book walks or drop your dog off knowing they are in safe, expert hands. We send updates and tips so you always know how things are going.

“Excellent service!! Started at puppy one classes with Lizzie and the team, we now have Sarah for dog walks and cat home visits. Dexter absolutely loves his walks. Such a friendly team that genuinely care about our pets and always go the extra mile!! Couldn't recommend highly enough!”

“Very professional and friendly service. We have been, and continue to take our Puggle pup Jess to training classes since September 2015 and their advice and support has been a key factor in Jess's development and our enjoyment as a dog owner.”
