It gives you the basics about owning a pet and what you need to know for their welfare.
I don't see a need for certification for this course.
Recommended for general knowledge and resources

This course was informative on many street and pet dogs and cats. I do want to know more about the shelter element of how these animals can be better suited in a shelter environment.

really interesting and full of useful information and tips. What I'd love to see is a course dedicated to rescue dogs - especially ones that have been mistreated or not socialized
