What they say about themselves
Audrey Selaya started training dogs from her home in 2008, initially focusing on dogs with anxiety and aggression issues. According to the company's website, she holds a Certified Master Trainer credential. As demand grew, she partnered with her sister Veronica to open a full-service pet resort in Riverside in 2015, followed by a second location in Corona in 2017.
The two facilities now operate as combined boarding, daycare, and training centers, each sitting on more than an acre of land. Better K9 Pet Resort describes its setup as including climate-controlled indoor areas, swimming pools, multiple play yards with equipment, and a dedicated training yard. The site notes double-gated entrances with 24-hour security and states that boarding guests receive daily wellness checks.
Training options span board-and-train programs, private lessons (at the facility or in-home), and group classes organized by skill level. The company lists specialty training for puppies, canine sports, aggression, anxiety, Canine Good Citizen preparation, and protection training at the Riverside location. They also offer a dog handler training course for people pursuing professional training work. Their site mentions a military and first responder discount. For dogs that don't do well in group settings, the Riverside location offers what they call "human-focused" individual play as an alternative to pack socialization.
