Run Wild Agility Coaching Series - June is CONNECTION month

9:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Connection Before Takeoff

with Jordan Biggs

This workshop focuses on using connection before the dog commits to an obstacle to help set the best possible line to what comes next. Handlers will work on giving timely information, supporting the dog’s approach, and shaping smoother turns and more efficient paths before the dog has already taken off.

9:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Handler Focus vs. Obstacle Focus

with Hana Spitz

This workshop focuses on helping handlers understand when their dog needs connection to the handler and when they can shift their focus forward to the next obstacle. Teams will work on creating clearer lines, improving timing, and balancing support with independence so the dog knows when to check in and when to drive ahead with confidence.

12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Connection At A Distance

with Hana Spitz

This workshop focuses on helping teams stay connected even when the handler is not right beside the dog. Handlers will work on using timely cues, body language, verbal information, and clear support from a distance so the dog can stay confident, understand the line, and continue working without losing connection.

12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Stop Rushing, Start Connecting

with Jordan Biggs

This workshop focuses on helping handlers slow down their decision-making and stay connected to their dog without feeling the need to race ahead. Teams will work on creating clearer timing, supporting the dog’s line, and learning when to move, when to wait, and how to stay present so the dog gets the information they need with confidence.

4:00 PM – 6:30 PM

How Connection Can Shape Confidence

with Jordan Biggs

This workshop focuses on using connection to build confidence in both dogs and handlers. Teams will work on creating clearer communication, supporting the dog through moments of uncertainty, and building trust through thoughtful handling, reinforcement, and teamwork so the dog feels more confident taking on challenges.

4:00 PM – 6:30 PM

Reinforcement Strategies To Build Stronger Behaviors

with Hana Spitz

This workshop focuses on helping handlers use reinforcement more intentionally to build clearer, more reliable agility behaviors. Teams will work on when, where, and how to reward so dogs better understand the goal, stay engaged, and develop stronger connection, commitment, confidence, and independence.

1:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Staying Connected While Handling From Ahead

This workshop focuses on helping handlers stay connected even when they are moving ahead of their dog. Teams will work on maintaining clear communication, supporting the dog’s line, and giving timely information while the handler is in front, so the dog can continue forward with confidence without feeling rushed, left behind, or disconnected.
