Better K9 Pet Resort - Riverside Location - Riverside, California

Kris Herbert

I would absolutely recommend Better K9 to any other dog owners I know, for both training and boarding. I was very grateful to have a place in the area where I could feel comfortable leaving my dog (mine has been bit twice and is thus very wary of large dogs - they do intensive behavior evaluations for each incoming dog and separate smaller and larger dogs into 'packs' - which was key in me bringing him here).

For training - I'm often shocked with how polite my dog is now in public. I get compliments all the time, and I have Noah to thank for that. The private lessons were worth every dollar, and I wish I still lived in the area to continue them. What I really appreciated about these lessons was how Noah was attentive to my priorities in my training goals, and gave practical and organized advice in how to achieve them. I've had trouble finding another facility with as much expertise and professionalism, and am very thankful to have benefited from Better K9 during my time in Riverside.

I really wish there was negative stars. I went to pick up my German Shorthair Pointer the other day and she here's my truck so I get out and I point to her and call her name like I have at least 20 other times before. I go around to pick her up and a lady comes stomping out at me telling me I can't talk to mydog and was extremely rude. She decided to make up a story in her head and that didn't fly with me. I apologized and everything because I don't want anyone hurting my dog when I'm not watching. She speed thank and I told her she was welcome and warned her what was going to happen then said the b word. I called other location because they didn't answer so I get a call back and explain what happened to owner. She sat there and listened disguising herself as employee. Super unprofessional. I had a run in with another staff member telling me where I was gonna walk. Now it makes sense. If I had a boss like that I'd be angry too. I have 20 employees who love what they do and love me. My dog means the world to me not to mention she is highly trained and competes in frisbee tournaments. If a place can treat a human like that imagine what they are like with dogs when we aren't looking.
They keep highly aggressive dogs there without telling anyone. My friends dog got bit there not to long ago and he left a review and her response was no record of them being there which is a lie because he is my good friend. I have let my 5 friends know what they do there. Also place is super unsanitary. They also pay yelp to erase and put bad reviews at bottom
Filed a complaint with the better business bureau as well.
I paid for a water party they are gonna have but they cam keep it. I'm sure they will pay to delete this as well at some point but I'll have a friend post it back up.really funny going over reviews and all the bad ones say there is no record. Trust me there is. My dog is even on their website..
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

Better K9 is the place to be, I had to take a break due to monetary concerns, but will be returning to continue further training with my boy Pascal to get his Therapy Dog training. His obedience training and his ongoing training would not have been successful without the work of his trainers Jack, Sarah, and everyone else!

My dog Kenji loves it there. He goes once a week for daycare as much as possible. I love this place and all of the staff. One of my favorites is Emily. I feel like me and Better K9 are coparents for Kenji. Ha ha. On a serious note they are fantastic and I recommend them. Me and my dog/son are better off because of Better K9.

I was hired as their photographer.
They handled the dogs well. Actually took a few Sunday group sessions with my pooch.

We recently rescued our pet and were looking for a place nearby to board her. We chose Better K9 due to its location. For the first time visit, the staff recommends a tour of the facility and a four hour trial visit for your pet free of charge. Based on how your pet did at the trial, the staff will be able to better attend to your pets needs for future visits.
After our pet's trial, we scheduled some half day visits to acclimate our pet to the resort. After the first half day visit, our pet did much better.
The staff is very attentive to your pet and works with them to make their experience much more enjoyable.
The staff doesn't judge your pet and its behavior. They work with your pet and provide recommendations for a better experience.
I've met several of the staff and all of them are super friendly and helpful.
The daily and overnight rates are pretty reasonable. I hope they can continue offering those reasonable rates for the long future.
