Meet Beatrix Beri
CCPDT UW-AAB IAABC Supporting Member

Meet Beatrix Beri, CPDT-KA, UW-AAB

Bea began her career in tourism and hospitality, shifting in 2016 to work with dogs full-time out of her love for pets. After gaining hands-on experience at several locations, studying canine behavior, and apprenticing as a trainer at a Maryland dog rescue, she became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer through CCPDT in 2020. 

Bea, passionate about science, earned a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington to deepen her knowledge of canine behavior. This enables her to provide reliable information to other dog lovers about dog behavior.

Bea has been surrounded by pets since childhood. She fell in love with her family’s first pet, a rescued Dachshund mix named Betty, when she was a 10-year-old child. She has since raised two other dogs, including her nine-year-old Doxie, Simon. Bea is particularly enthusiastic about puppy socialization, especially for small breeds. She hopes to help bridge the communication gap between handlers and dogs through heartfelt training in both private and group classes.

Over the past decade, Bea has worked with various family dog businesses, including Doggywalker.com in Arlington, Life of Riley in Rockville, Canine Humane Network in Howard County, Dog Latin Dog Training in Bethesda, and, since 2024, Furever & Fur Always Wedding Day Dog Care LLC. She is now pursuing continuing education credits for the CBCC (Certified Behavior Consultant-Canine) certification to support complex behavior modification cases.

When she is not passionately helping other dog lovers, Bea enjoys spending time with Simon, going on hikes or other adventures with her doggie friends, traveling, cooking, puzzling, crafting, or frequenting fitness classes.

Leash Skills

1 & 2 (3 weeks each) | $205

For: Young adults & Adult dogs: 6 months and up

Class size: Min. 2 Max. 4.

Learning to walk on a leash is a skill dogs need. Being tethered isn’t natural to them, let alone managing their emotions while dealing with everyday life outside, including noises, fast-moving objects, and of course, other dogs. In this class, you and your dog learn what connected walking means, how to handle your dog’s leash skillfully, and how to provide them with feedback to regulate their emotions and keep calm.

Leash Skills 1 introduces the foundations for walks.
Leash Skills 2 introduces distractions to walks.

The two rounds of classes aren’t required together, but highly recommended. You can take Leash Skills 1 without enrolling in Leash Skills 2, but you cannot enroll in Leash Skills 2 without completing Leash Skills 1.
