Beverly Ulbrich is the President and Founder of The Pooch Coach LLC.

She provides private and personalized training and behavior problem solving through reinforcement and shaping. She has extensive knowledge and success with solving aggression issues and helping shy, fearful dogs. Beverly has been working with dogs all her life. She actually started training dogs at 9 years old. She has since been educated in animal behavior as well as canine obedience and training.

Beverly formally evaluates and temperament tests dogs for shelters and rescue groups as well as for dog-bite cases and hearings. She has trained dogs internationally. She has worked with the East Bay SPCA, Pets Unlimited, SF ACC, P.A.W.S., and various rescue organizations. Beverly has been certified with the American Kennel Club as an evaluator for its Canine Good Citizen Test. She is on the Board of Directors of Rocket Dog Rescue as well as Share-A-Pet pet assisted therapy organization. Share-A-Pet (SAP) hired Beverly to be its San Francisco area trainer and tester for its Therapy Obedience Professional (TOP) testing for all the therapy dogs involved in SAP. She is also the sole behaviorist for Veterinary Street Outreach Services (Vet SOS) as well as for PAWS (Pets are Wonderful Support). She comes highly recommended by Pets Unlimited, San Francisco Dog Owners Group, The Milo Foundation, Reunion Rescue, and Home at Last Rescue - and she has fostered and/or trained dogs for each of them. Beverly is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals. Her excellent training capabilities have enabled her to be featured on a segment of CBS' Evening Magazine, appear on numerous news programs, land a spot on an "Animal Planet" special, and be seen in a movie about Craig's List. She busted a dog myth on MythBusters in 2007. Also, her well-trained puppy landed the lead role in a movie released in 2006.

Beverly understands dogs and the way they think. She also knows how important it is for owners to understand their dogs and to work with them. Training is an interactive, on-going pursuit. It should be fun and rewarding for both you and your dog. She will not only help teach your dog how to behave but, more importantly, she will teach you how to teach your dog.

You will learn how to interact with your dog and continue to easily train her for the rest of her life. Beverly has often been compared to and called The Dog Whisperer (aka Cesar Millan). Many of her clients have commented that when they first saw Cesar, he reminded them of Beverly. They both have the same calm, assertive approach, and the same uncanny ability to gain trust and respect from even the toughest dogs. Like Cesar, she teaches "exercise, discipline and affection". And, like Cesar's clients, Beverly's clients typically see amazing results and changes after just one session. Additionally, Beverly believes in teaching commands and obedience using positive reinforcement. She feels you need to be able to communicate with your dog as well as be a strong leader for him.

Let The Pooch Coach help you get to know your dog better and learn how to effectively communicate with him so that you will both be happier and healthier. Call or write now to set up your initial consultation and evaluation.
