About Our Dog Show Judges

On Saturday Jennifer Ashby  a Clinical Director at Coombfield Vets

On Sunday Davey Atkinson from Axe Valley Dog Training

Davey Atkinson

Axe Valley Dog Training

Davey has been working with dogs and their humans since 2018, using kind, science-based training that’s fun and practical. He’s a Clever Dog Company Method Licensed Trainer, which means he was trained and mentored by behaviour expert Sarah Whitehead.

At the Axe Vale Show, He will be running live scentwork demos – so if you’ve ever wondered what your dog’s nose is truly capable of (spoiler: a lot), come and take a look. It’s fun, fascinating, and a brilliant way to tire out even the busiest of dogs.

Jenny Ashby
