Put Introduction Here

Dogs just like humans need to be living in a safe and loving environment. Feeding and exercising your animal should be an essential ingredient in your daily routine. Dog’s need a balanced diet and regular grooming to live a healthy life. As a Dog owner you hold the responsibility to set time aside for your dog’s attention. Our group has chosen to present our E –LEARNING Tutorial on Dog Care on the Randwick City Council Site. The Council offers a few links on the website relative to domestic animals. Although the articles offer topics of discussion such as dog walking destinations and information on micro chipping, the website does not have any information on animal care. Our E-learning Tutorial is designed to teach dog owners how to clean, feed, exercise and look after your pet. The Tutorial also highlights the importance of animal care and how essential it is to maintain a balanced routine.

We hope that this E-learning tutorial will prompt viewers’ awareness in Dog Care as well as underline the message of balance in a dog’s lifestyle. We hope by publishing this tutorial it will influence other pet owners to seek advice in caring for their animals.

The Tutorial is designed to educate Dog Owner residents in the Randwick City Council suburbs. The tutorial will be displayed on the Randwick City Council Website under links about Dogs and Cats which should encourage other pet carers to seek advice in animal care.
