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, Kings Hill 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, West Malling Village Hall and Harrietsham 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

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

Loved by local dog owners
Real results from real dogs across Kent.
“Lizzie is absolutely brilliant. Our spaniel Barley was a nightmare on the lead and within four sessions he was a different dog. Calm, focused and actually enjoying walks. Wish we had found Leading Paws sooner.”

Barley, Cocker Spaniel • Kings Hill
“We used the puppy pop-ins when Biscuit was tiny and it gave us such peace of mind going back to work. Lizzie sent photos and updates every visit. Absolutely 5 star service.”

“The agility classes are the highlight of our week. Rosie absolutely loves it and so do I. Lizzie makes everyone feel welcome regardless of ability. Cannot recommend enough.”
