Testimonials

Beverly working with DOGTV.

Beverly working with DOGTV.

“When filming content for DOGTV (television for dogs), it’s important for us to work with the most professional and experienced dog trainers, in order to get the best content for dogs to enjoy. Beverly Ulbrich was so easy to work with because she knew exactly what we needed, and how to get that from the dogs. I don’t know how she does it, but it works beautifully! I’m looking forward to working with Beverly on more DOGTV programs.” (Ron Levi, Founder/Chief Content Officer, DOGTV)

“I needed a last minute replacement for a key canine cast member. Beverly saved my bacon by finding the perfect dog to play Scout and took the time to train her for our barn scene. I got every shot that I needed, and it turned out great!” – Andrew Chen, Director, Ghost in the Gun

 

“Our experience with Beverly was fantastic. Her dog Kompis she provided for our film was a one-take wonder! It turned out to be the easiest scene we shot all week. Beverly managed to turn a scene we worried about into a scene we smiled about, a lot. We can’t thank her enough.” Brock Mullins, Director – Light with Sound

The Pooch Coach The Love Effect Film
Beverly holds the star dog's attention to get the perfect shot needed for the film.
“Beverly is one of those on-in-a-million talents who speaks human, pooch and real results.  Her work on our film THE LOVE EFFECT made animal interactions and performances safe, reliable, fun and honestly just incredible.  She went above and beyond for us, scouting and training our star puppy for our film and making sure both our team and the owner of the dog were comfortable and confident! Bev’s approach is just like her, one of a kind and we knew we were in the right hands from day one.”— Drue Metz, Writer/Director – theloveeffect.org / swankyflicks.com

 

“I’ve worked with Beverly on two fiction projects, and one award-winning feature film. All required the dogs be able to perform very unusual tasks, and in each case they were able to provide me with so many amazing takes! I’m inclined to write dogs into my work so I can have another on set experience so great!” –Rob Richert – Film Director
