Maidstone Activity Dogs

Do you have an adolescent puppy that’s starting to become hard work?
We can help! Introducing…

Puppy ‘youth’ club - A group for older puppies up to approx 24 months of age.

Older puppies have different needs to younger pups as they are going through adolescence which isn’t much fun for owners! They have the energy and build of an adult dog but can’t yet have the exercise of an adult dog and so often when mental stimulation is lacking they become a little challenging!

This class is a regular weekly class for as long as you wish to keep training your puppy/dog.

We will cover things like:
Age appropriate obedience,
Recalls,
Problem solving,
Tricks,
Games and life skills,
Socialisation experiences,
Outdoor training,
Taster sessions for various activities
Ways to provide mental stimulation at home
Problem behaviours (please note we can not deal with reactivity issues in a class)
…and more!

Wednesday evenings starting on
24th June 2026 at 7.25pm.

This will be booked in 6 week blocks and is £72 for 6 weeks.
Puppies need to have completed some basic training first (not necessarily with us)

What is the Bronze Good Citizen class?
The Bronze Award is the first level of training following on from Puppy Courses or for dogs over the age of 20 weeks. The Course follows the content of the Kennel Club Good Citizens Scheme, meaning that the Course is structured and has set exercises that should be achieved by the end of the Course.
The Course runs for 8 weeks with each session lasting for 1 hour. Weeks 1 to 6 are training exercises. Week 7 is a full run through of the examination and then work on any problem areas. Week 8 is the examination. The examination will be led by an external examiner who has not previously taught the group.
Some of the elements in the Bronze Good Citizens Dog Scheme:
Walking your dog to heel on lead
Walking your dog around distractions
Recalling your dog
A one minute stay
Walking through a doorway under control
Examining and grooming your dog
Being able to remove and fit your dogs walking equipment
Questions on being a responsible dog owner
Our next course has a couple of spaces remaining and starts on 23rd June at 6.45pm the cost for the 8 weeks is £99.
