Advantages Of Enrolling Your Dog In Professional Training
- Enhances Safety: Professional dog training instills crucial commands like recall, impulse control, and leash manners, making dogs safer in various real-world situations. Additionally, well-behaved dogs are less likely to harm their owners or others unintentionally.
- Promotes Home Harmony: Effective communication with your dog is key to maintaining a harmonious household. Quality training ensures that your dog comprehends your expectations, leading to a more enjoyable companionship.
- Mitigates Challenging Behaviors: Unwanted behaviors such as jumping, table begging, and excessive barking often stem from a lack of clear communication between humans and dogs. Our training approach equips families with insights into the underlying causes of these behaviors and how they may be inadvertently reinforced at home.

Dog Bathing and Spa
Few things are as huggable as a dog that looks and smells fantastic. Allow our expert spa team at Better K9 to spoil your pet, whether it’s a swift bath or a luxurious doggie spa experience!
Our skilled team members are trained to carefully inspect your pet’s skin, coat, paws, and ears, identifying any potential indicators of health issues.
Trimming your pet’s nails promotes healthy paw structure and posture while preventing potential discomfort caused by excessively long nails.
Our specialized tools are designed to effectively reach and remove trapped fur from your pet’s dense undercoat, a task that can be challenging to tackle at home. This significantly reduces shedding in your living space.
A clean coat, free from debris and loose hair, enhances your pet’s comfort, benefiting both your furry friend and you. It’s a win-win situation for all!

Audrey Selaya started her career as a Certified Master Trainer in 2008, initially operating from her home. Her specialization was in the rehabilitation of dogs dealing with anxiety and aggression. Over time, her business expanded, and clients began inquiring about additional services such as lodging. This demand prompted Audrey to collaborate with her sister, Veronica, and together, they established a comprehensive pet care facility. In 2015, the Selaya sisters proudly launched Better K9 in Riverside.
Audrey and Veronica, who collectively share their lives with five dogs, envisioned and established a facility that embodies the kind of experience they desired for their beloved furry companions. Better K9 takes immense pride in its eight years of dedicated service to meet the needs of dog owners in Riverside.
