Tired of feeling like you’re at the other end of a dog sled team? Want to be able to take your dog to the farmers market without them jumping all over everyone? Need to figure out how to get your dog to come when you really need him to? Manners 1 is the class for you! For dogs 4 months and older, this class will help you and your dog work as a team to conquer the big struggles of having an adolescent dog. We'll use positive reinforcement to practice coming when called, polite greetings (not jumping), leash walking, sit/down/stand, stay, mat training and attention training.  Class meets for six weeks, first week without dogs. For non-reactive dogs only. Again, first class is people only, no dogs.

Online Class

Death Café provides an opportunity for people, often unknown to others in the group, to gather (virtually) and examine matters surrounding life and death in a relaxed, open, safe atmosphere. There is no agenda, no objectives or themes. Death Café is not a bereavement or support group, but rather a forum for open discussion. For more information on Death Cafes, please visit deathcafe.com.

Jody Wolford-Tucker has served as the Executive Director of Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County for over 15 years, while Lori Johnson has served as the Patient Care Manager for over four years. Both are comfortable having conversations around Death and Dying and are experienced in facilitating Death Cafés.
