Mystic Dog Training

Mystic Dog Training offers three core programs: Private Lessons for hands-on, in-person coaching tailored to specific behavioral issues; Board and Train, a 2–3 week immersive program where the dog stays with Brenda in a home environment and receives daily training, structure, and socialization; and Puppy Training, which focuses on foundational skills like potty training, crate training, and leash manners. All programs include go-home coaching, video resources, and ongoing support. Exclusive boarding is available only to past clients to maintain and reinforce training progress in a familiar setting.

Mystic Dog Training, led by trainer Brenda, offers personalized dog training services in Long Beach, CA, focused on building calm, trust-based relationships between dogs and their owners. Brenda helps dog owners navigate challenges like reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, barking, and separation issues through compassionate, individualized methods that prioritize understanding the dog’s needs over rigid obedience. Her approach blends structure with empathy, adapting to each dog’s temperament—whether shy, high-energy, or anxious—and emphasizes meeting biological needs through exercise, play, and routine. She provides private lessons, board and train programs, puppy training, and exclusive boarding for past clients to reinforce progress. Brenda’s training philosophy is rooted in nervous system regulation, clear communication, and creating a judgment-free space where both dogs and humans can grow. Her services include daily video updates, detailed follow-up coaching, and ongoing support to ensure long-term success.

Brenda’s personal journey with depression and ADHD informs her deeply empathetic style, making her especially attuned to owners who feel overwhelmed or unsure. She avoids one-size-fits-all methods and instead tailors every plan to the individual dog and family. Her exclusive boarding program ensures continuity of training in a familiar, structured environment, and she only accepts clients whose dogs do not have severe aggression or red zone behaviors.

Beyond training, Brenda’s connection to nature, vintage aesthetics, and authentic living influences the calming, grounded atmosphere of her work, helping clients feel supported not just as dog owners, but as people.

She also offers a free initial consultation to help families determine the best path forward.

Brenda’s personal journey of healing through dog training, her deep commitment to empathy and nervous system regulation, and her reputation for transformative results with anxious and reactive dogs are central to her accomplishments.
