4. **Success notifications** - Add Bootstrap alerts after form submissions
5. **"Add New Pet" button** - Simple link addition to owner detail page
**Recommended Learning Path:**
- **Week 1**: UI improvements (buttons, placeholders, breadcrumbs)
- **Week 2**: Simple filtering (city, pet type filters)
- **Week 3**: Form enhancements (validation feedback, date calculations)
- **Week 4**: Export features (print styles, CSV export)
**Required Skills:**
- ✅ Basic HTML/CSS
- ✅ Thymeleaf template syntax
- ✅ Spring MVC controller methods
- ✅ Bootstrap CSS framework
- ⚡ Basic JavaScript (for interactive features)
- ⚡ Spring Data JPA queries (for filtering)
**Files You'll Mainly Work With:**
- `src/main/resources/templates/**/*.html` (UI changes)
- `src/main/java/**/controller/*.java` (controller logic)
- `src/main/java/**/repository/*.java` (database queries)
