Too far for a weekly class? Don't miss out!
Come and train with Nicola at our events.
Thanks to the amazing Wild Paws Family and the Wild Paws Arena, you can now find Nicola and her coaching all in one place, all year round!
To make this possible, Nicola is no longer available for training invitations at other clubs. However, if you can make the journey to Blackpool, she would absolutely love to welcome you to Wild Paws Arena!
There are lots of ways to train with Nicola outside of the weekly classes. We offer a variety of training opportunities throughout the year, including monthly training series, single training days, training camps and our ever-popular Winter Series.
Our monthly training series offer regular coaching opportunities, with some running throughout the year and others taking place during the winter months.
Our single training days are a great way to experience Nicola’s coaching and see whether her approach is the right fit for you and your partnership.
For those looking for a more intensive experience, our training camps bring together multi-day coaching, sometimes in collaboration with other trainers, giving you the opportunity to focus, learn and make progress over several days.
And, of course, there’s our ever-popular Winter Series — a firm favourite in the Wild Paws calendar!
