Recently we recieved a call from a man claiming to be a dog trainer.
His name was Will Duncan. He said that he rehabilitated dogs, and
trained them for various companies including for the handicapped. He
also said he was from USA Dog Training, and he personally trained
Cesar Millan.
He will tell various stories, but basically wants to get free dogs.
He claims to have federal and state licenses. He recently stole dogs
from a Jefferson County shelter. He is from Topeka, and claims that
he just moved there from California. If fact, he is a big scammer.
Nothing he says is true. He told us he wants aggressive dogs to
rehab and medium to large sized high drive dogs.
We got a call from the Kansas Animal Health Department to warn us
about him.
They were trying to warn everyone before he called, but he had
already called us.
We believe he is using these dogs for pit-bait. We believe he is
selling these "high-drive" or "aggressive" dogs that he gets from
shelters to pit fighters who use them to "train" there dogs to fight
and kill. He lives in a trailer in Topeka with his brother. Last time
it was checked, he had 14 dogs that he keeps in tiny pens in and
around his trailer.
Please do not release any of your dogs to him. If he does call,
please call Judy Bishop at: 785-633-7002 with any information you
obtain about him. They are trying to make a criminal case up but he
just keeps staying one step in front of the law.
The personal information I have obtained about him is:
Name: Will Duncan
Address: 1123 NE Jefferson, Trailer #4, Topeka , KS (actual address)
Cell Phone: 785-231-7245
Toll Free Number: 877-949-9DOG
Fake Company Name: USA Dog Training
Thanks and Good Luck,
Please forward to other shelters and animal people!
