Profile
The National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio was established in 1975 by Scott Mueller. The National K-9 Training Center began by training dogs for both families and businesses throughout central Ohio. In 1977, Mueller is credited with revolutionizing support dog training when he trained a dog to aid a client who suffered from Muscular Dystrophy. Mueller later co-founded the non-profit organization, Support Dogs for the Handicapped, Inc. This organization trained dogs to aid individuals who were physically challenged. Dogs were taught to retrieve objects, assist with wheelchairs and doors, provide physical support and stability, and to perform other physical necessities to make life easier for their humans.
