How did you hone your craft?
Following five years of working with dogs full-time, studying canine behavior, and taking on an apprenticeship, I passed the Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA®) exam. It measures a broad range of knowledge and skills in ethology, learning theory, dog training technique, and instruction. The organization’s goal is to establish and maintain humane standards of competence for dog training and behavior professionals through criteria based on experience, standardized testing, skills, and continuing education. I established K9 Trix & Training in 2019 as a way of further pursuing my dream of having all my favorite aspects of life come together, such as meeting new people, working with dogs, and educating dog lovers. I enjoy sharing dog-related knowledge with anyone, and I am a person who is always up for a friendly chat!
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Satisfaction between handler and dog is reciprocal. You must know how your dog will fit into your daily life to form a close bond, and you must be committed to providing the education they need. Since you and your dog are a team, both of your needs must be equally met. Apart from training together, I provide tips and tricks to help you better reconcile your daily life with your pup and help mutually adapt to a happy and content life.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I am left handed and was born on April 1st.

Customer Reviews
One word review: A-freaking-mazing! Longer review: We are so happy that we chose Beatrix to be our dog trainer! Right off the bat, she gave sound advice and techniques, which is only to be expected of a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. But honestly, that's not what makes her so invaluable - it's her understanding of how dogs' minds work AND that she's willing to explain everything in a way that anyone can understand. She never talks down to you, and always explains why something works (or doesn't work). We've had so much success with her techniques and lessons, I recommend her to everyone, and anyone, with a dog! - Hyattsville, MD
- Sarah SBea uses positive reinforcement, patience, confidence and kindness in her dog training. She was able to win over my shy, anxious dog After each lesson she emails a detailed summary and exercises to practice. - Chevy Chase, Maryland

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Beatrix Beri, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
