First Aid for dogs
I guess you get what you pay for. This course was ok on a very basic level but not very practical. It mostly seemed to want to sell you an American book on pet safety. whilst I approve of the safety tips and think they are a good idea for all pet owners, I had signed up for a first aid course, which is not the same thing.
