Michelle Osborne may not be a dog trainer, but she's great!
When I heard through the dog park grapevine that some *** had been writing fake reviews about Michelle, I thought I'd come over and write my own good review! I met Michelle a couple years ago at the dog park when she started to come there with her dog Dahlia. She's real knowledgable about dogs and when she found out my dog Aska had some issues with food aggression, she gave me some suggestions to try. My gosh, they worked like a charm! I've lived with dogs all my life and I'm, well, a good bit older than this young lady. But I still didn't know how to fix this problem. This lady may not be a dog trainer professionally, but she sure does know dogs. She really should train them for a living and it's a shame that this Kevin Salem guy has been trying to take her down. Michelle's a really fantastic dog person, really know her stuff. But she's never taken a dime for any of her advice and she doesn't train professionally. Remember folks, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

Con Artist Dog Trainer: Michele Osborne aka "Crysania" Liverpool NY
I had Michelle Osbourne who lives in Liverpool NY help me with my dog. She charged us 350 dollars for six park lessons and one week of our dog staying at her apt. Well, she took our money and made our dog even more aggressive. Her advise was to use treats for everything. Yesterday my dog was on counter eating some leftovers, and when I reached to stop him, he bit really me. He kept shaking my hand like a rag doll. Michelle's taught us that the reason she recommends treats for everything is so our dog isn't as treat motivated and would leave our counters alone. Made sense at the time but it totally backfired. She also told us to hold hot dogs and wave it in front of our dog when he charges at other dogs and this never worked either. We trust Michelle with our dog, as she came highly recommended by the shelter and now we have to put our poor dog down. Michelle also goes on line by the nickname of "Crysania" and sometimes as "Katie" and her web site is TheSpottedTongue.com When we called to ask for our money back, she kept hanging up on us and told us that eventually, dogs do what dogs gonna do. Please stay away from this monster. She seemed very nice at first and her training theory was all based on removing all bones, all toys, and to never ever say NO to our dog. Yeah. That sure makes a lot of sense. Michelle Osborne's latest address where she took our dog was at: 129 Kings Park Dr Apt G Liverpool, NY 13090-**** Her phone number is 315-487-**** My husband is now convinced that our dog is ruined and it needs to be put down immediately. How could I have been so naive. We are all devastated and can't stop crying.

Which is "exactly" why we fell for her scam. She told us that she isn't a professional but has far more knowledge than average dog owners and kept referring to her black dog.
Our dog is all ruined. He now steals food from counters. He never ever did that but Michelle's method was all based on bribery.
Last time I tried to stop our boxer from doing this, he really bit me. Thanks Michelle. I don't know how you can sleep at night time.
I have been reading Michelle's various blogs and communicating with her online for a little over two years. Though she is not a professional dog trainer, her personal dog training anecdotes have been quite enjoyable! Also, I've learned quite a bit from her in regards to training my own three dogs!
Michelle is quite well read, and has excellent skill at researching training methods and behavioral studies.
I wish more dog owners/parents were like Michelle.
I have known Michelle for about a year now, and she has given me some wonderful advice about positive dog training methods and has helped me to greatly understand better ways to train my dogs and explain positive theory to my own students. Michelle is a great resource and we love her!
I too know Michelle from the dog park and she and her dog are both a joy to have there! Her dog helps defuse the tension when one dog bullies a more timid dog.
You just don't have a dog who does that without its being well-trained and really well-balanced.
She's given me some advice for my dog, who's a bit unruly, and they've worked very well.
He rarely jumps up anymore, which is a huge change. And considering he weighs nearly 90lbs it's a really good thing to have him stay with "four on the floor"!
I've known michelle for a long time. She neither trains nor boards professionally, she has only one dog - her own!
And her dog is wonderfully trained. If I needed help, id go to her for advice, and if she did train as a business, her positive, effective methods make her the exact type of trainer id seek out.
Kevin salem has been harrassing her for a long while and his pathetic reviews are nothing more than a smear campaign.
I know Michelle from a dog class we were taking. I already said this on the horrible one made up by Kevin Salem, but I'll say it again here:
Michelle really knows dogs. She's great with them. She uses positive reinforcement and dogs respond brilliantly to her. However, she never has trained for a living. She has given me some great advice that has worked with my dog. But she never took a dime for it.
I think it sucks that this place allows people to make up fake reviews, and I'm so glad that Matt thought to create this compliment to counteract the nastiness of that troll.
Michelle Osborne is beyond awesome. There should be more people like her everywhere!
michelle is a wonderful dog owner who is being harassed by a *** making up lies claiming she's a professional dog trainer. she doesnt train other peoples dogs.
she did however train her own dog, and did a fantastic job of it! she's a kind and caring pet owner.
Michelle is not a dog trainer, but if there is anyone who advocates positive, kind training, it's her! I would trust her with my dog any day!
Agreed completely! I only know Michelle on the internet but she has helped me so much with my dog.
She is not a professional dog trainer but she is better than most professionals I know of!
This guy who is trying to discredit her is being petty, nasty and, frankly, is stalking her. His opinions should be ignored.
