MEET THE TRAINERS!
Will Clements
Meet Will, our general manager and head trainer. Will grew up with Labs and rescue dogs on his family’s farm near Athens, GA. He moved to Augusta in 2021 and got his first bird dog, Boomer. He loves training, hunting, and sharing the joy of hunting with others behind a dog. Growing up on a farm taught him a great deal about animal behavior and training. He has guided horseback rides and whitewater rafting trips in Colorado and currently guides fishing trips in Augusta on the weekends. His goal is to help people develop well-rounded dogs for both the home and the field.
Hugh Arthur
Meet Hugh Arthur. Hugh has been professionally training dogs for six years and brings experience working with all breeds. He has built a strong and proven resume within the raccoon hound circuit.

His father, Al Arthur, has been one of the nation’s top open trainers for over a decade, and his uncle, Bill Arthur, has played a key role in producing many of the country’s top field trial dogs.
