Owner & Lead Trainer
Graycen is the owner and lead trainer at Bugg Dog Training, with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments, backgrounds, and behavioral challenges.
His focus has always been simple: real results that carry over into everyday life. Not just controlled environments or perfect sessions, but training that actually works in the real world.
He works with everything from basic obedience to more complex cases like reactivity and aggression. No matter the situation, the goal stays the same: clear communication, structure, and lasting change.
His training style blends accountability with reward-based learning, helping dogs understand both what to do and how to succeed.Â
For Graycen, training is not just about commands. It's about helping dogs understand expectations and giving owners the confidence to handle them in real-life situations.
With over eight years of experience and several years running his own business, Graycen specializes in helping owners get real, lasting results.
Above all, he focuses on giving owners the clarity and confidence they need to live successfully with their dogs long after training ends.
Deimos
Demonstration Dog
High drive. Clear mind. No nonsense.
Deimos plays a big role in training by helping demonstrate clear communication, engagement, and advanced obedience in real-world situations.
He shows clients what is possible with consistency and structure, from staying neutral around distractions to precise, reliable obedience.
He's also used in sessions when appropriate to help other dogs learn how to stay calm, focused, and make better decisions.
Sirius
Demonstration & Support Dog
Calm, steady, and completely unbothered.
Sirius helps show what neutral, stable behavior looks like in different environments.
He is often used with dogs working through reactivity or overstimulation, giving them a steady presence to learn around.
He represents the end goal: clear-headed, reliable, and able to handle the real world without overreacting.
Mordred
Demonstration Cat
Part cat. Part dog. Fully convinced he runs the place.
Mordred adds a unique layer to training by helping dogs learn how to behave around real-life distractions.
He's used to help work on impulse control, calm behavior, and appropriate responses around smaller animals, something many dogs struggle with.
He is fully part of the training environment and more than comfortable holding his own.
He helps reinforce an important goal: dogs should be able to exist calmly around everything, not just other dogs.
