Active Shooter Awareness
It seems as though, every day, there is a new story on
the news about a school or work shooting. Have you
ever thought about what you would do if you were in
that type of situation? This class will give participants an
understanding of possible methods that may be taken
if the unthinkable occurs. With a shooter in a public
environment, there are no guarantees or 100% solutions
to be completely safe, but at least you won’t be caught
unprepared. This class will provide possible solutions
that may increase your chance of survival!

Introduction to the Enneagram –
Nine Personality Styles
Improve your relationship with yourself and others
by learning the Enneagram! Come and explore nine
personality types and nine different ways of looking at
the world as described by the Enneagram. By seeing
our default personality patterns with more clarity, we
can start the process of getting unstuck in behaviors
that are holding us back from our full potential. Do you
ever wonder why people don’t get you or why you don’t
get them? The Enneagram is both a psychological and
spiritual tool for getting a deeper understanding of
yourself and others. Learn how each personality type
has unique behaviors, underlying attitudes, conscious
and subconscious drives, emotional reactions, defense
mechanisms, and innate gifts and potential. This
knowledge helps us be more aware and compassionate
with ourselves and others. A supply fee of $18 is payable
at the time of registration for the course book.

Living with Alzheimers: Early Stage Alzheimers Disease for Caregivers
When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimers, friends
and family have many questions. This class will cover
information for caregivers of people with the “early
stage” of the disease. “Early stage” refers to people,
irrespective of age, who are diagnosed with Alzheimers
disease or related disorders and are in the beginning
stages of the disease. A person in the early stages may
experience mild changes in the ability to think and learn,
but he or she continues to participate in daily activities
and give-and-take dialogue. To others, the person
may not appear to have dementia. The early stages of
Alzheimers can last for years.

Simple Things You “Auto” Know
Increase your puppy’s confidence, respect, trust, and
interaction skills “pawsitively.” In this class for you and
any puppy 6 months and younger, learn the basics of
puppy behavior and simple obedience. Each session will
be divided into five segments: 1) Puppy 101; 2) behavior
issues including mouthing, biting, and chewing; 3)
obedience instruction such as “focus,” “sit,” and “down”;
4) a controlled confidence activity, such as tunnel play or
hoops; 5) playtime for positive interaction with other dogs
and people. The tasks listed above are just a sample of
what will be discussed! Each week, a new concept will
be introduced and previous concepts reviewed, so that
you and your puppy build its skills. Participants need to
bring the puppy with collar (no harness), leather or nylon
leash (no chain or flexi), soft training treats, and squeaky
toy. Proof of vaccination is required. Bring a notebook if
you would like to write down lessons. Participants under
the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

and family members will be incorporated into everyday

controlled walk, come, wait, stay, leave it, and more.
Behavioral situations are addressed based on group
and/or individual needs. The recommended age of the
dog for this class is 6 months and older, with those
younger enrolling in the puppy class. Any dog under
six months will be referred to the instructor for prior
approval. Participants need to bring their dog with collar
