About

A monthly agility training series led by the Run Wild Agility instructor team, designed to help teams grow their skills, confidence, connection, and ring-readiness. Each month has a training theme for focused training to develop strong skills in each. Individual workshops, coaching days, instructor-led practices, and fun matches sessions can be added as facility dates and instructor availability allow. September is Course Confidence Month
