Riley
Retired
Freya is a Siberian Husky and earned the title of Demo Dog after completing the Master Trainer Course at National K-9 with Blayke. Freya also passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test. Freya loves her job as a Demo Dog and is always ready to show off what she knows. She wants to break the husky stereotype by showing everyone her off-leash skills!
Riley is a Dachshund and had his first training experience with another graduate of National K-9. This graduate inspired Blayke to follow her dreams and attend National K-9. Riley is 9 years old so helps out with demos or distracting other dogs once in awhile but prefers to stay home and take a nap. He is a crowd favorite whenever he is around!
