The Puppy Wizard

HOWEDY Michael,

janet is a FRAUD, a LIAR, and a DOG ABUSER.

She hasn't a clue HOWE to train a dog. You can
ask nesssa abHOWET that, she's fixin to GET RID
of her two HOWETA control dogs that janet trained.
See: "Sad News.. I need someone to take my dogs."

THAT'S the result of jerking choking and lockin her
dogs in a box and callin THAT, trainin. nessa has an
adequate yard, but she can't TRAIN her dogs to stay
in it withHOWET barking constantly.

janet's own dog Franklin had intestinal surgery for
swallowing every thing in sight...

janet will hurt and kill a dog in a heartbeat.
