Michelle Osborne

She also scammed us and my sister's dog. She did a no show with us and we never were able to reach her again after she cashed in our check.

Stay away from this person. We should've gone with someone who actually has a business license.

From what I gather, rival dog trainer David Baron has been posting about Kevin being a child rapist for some time. He even wrote to me at one point to tell me that.

You may want to look to him for that last bit.

I think Kevin is a pretty lousy dog trainer and a pretty nasty human being.

I also think he's incredibly childish as he's posting as me all over the place. But I don't think he's a rapist or ***.

Just look at what Michelle posted about this poor guy. You even called him a rapist and a ***??

Really? Just because you don't like his style of training? Give me a break!

Read this post from Michelle, or Crysania or Katie. She has hundreds of alases.

Marlo, maybe it's hard for you to read, but I'm NOT Michelle. I'm a friend of Michelle's.

As for her blogging about it? I don't know. People blog about all sorts of things. I blog about my experiences, both negative and positive. From reading the post, it sounds like she's warning people to be careful. She used him as an example but the post is about being careful when looking for a trainer. What's wrong with that?

Why did Kevin decide to take it to e-mails? Why did he feel like he had to launch an attack against her? Why did he write fake reports about a business she doesn't have? Why did he threaten lawsuits for something he can't even back up because she gave both positives AND negatives? Why did he claim to have hired a PI and tell her he has her SSN? I can't fathom what this man is on about. It seems like if he had the confidence in his business in the first place, he would have just let this rolled off his back. But he didn't. In my profession, I've gotten some good reviews and some bad ones. I try my best to address the bad ones and see what went wrong. And if it was my fault, I try to fix it and do better in the future. But I don't threaten lawsuits and I don't go after people who wrote something negative about me. I certainly wouldn't go after someone who pointed out both the positives and the negatives about my business.

Maybe, just maybe, Salem ought to look at how he trains dogs and how he works with people. He's gotten some pretty nasty reviews (and some are still online because those people weren't scared of him). Maybe instead of threatening lawsuits he should look at his business and try to fix those things that went wrong. That's what any decent, sane person would do. I've done that any number of times and those people who wrote the negative reviews often remove them or edit them to reflect my willingness to work with them.

If you (or your buddy) had left it all alone, the post would have just disappeared down the google searches. Now since he's brought so much attention to it, if you google, it comes up pretty high on the search. You seem to have no one but yourself to blame for that one.

I am not him. Michelle. So won't YOU shut your hole. You brought all this to yourself.

If you don't have business, you will never know what people go through. My father owns a restsaurant and there are many *** bags who bring a dead fly with them and put it on their plate after they are nearly done.

Then they call our waiter and lie to our face to get a free meal and to not make a scene.

Why did you take it up a notch by blogging about it? wasn't Amazon enough? Again, you took your time and went after his business.

Say what you will and think what you will.

Marlo, I can only assume that you too are Kevin Salem or you'd keep your trap shut.

Michelle originally responded to a nasty review he wrote of one of her favorite books on amazon.com where he wrote a long thing about how awful "cookie trainers" were. He then found her e-mail address and started harassing her away from amazon.com. She sent me the e-mails he sent her and some of them are just plain *** She's thought about reporting him to the police any number of times, especially as he claims to have her SSN. That alone would get the police to investigate. She may still go to them as she worries a lot about identity theft.

I just reread her original post on her blog referencing Kevin and if you even read her post, you will note that not only does she link to his website, but she points out both the positive AND negative reviews. She tells the reader to make up their own mind, but knows she would never take her dog to someone like that. His real issue should be with the negative reviews. She's just pointing them out. She never claimed to take her dog to him.

She also talks about another company too, but I don't see them on here wasting their time making up fake reports about a business she has never had. What kind of person does that?

Thank you to those who defended my good name and my non-existent business. Mary, Bill, and John are all just aliases of Kevin Salem.

How do I know Kevin Salem did this? Because you TOLD me you did. You sent the links to me right after you did it. If you had been smart, you would have let me find them on my own. But you're not. You wanted to brag about what you had done. Also because I do not any dogs except my own. And because I have been harassed by Kevin Salem, the so-called "Dog Prodigy" since October 2009. And because he once gave me his "proof" that he knew my address and phone number. The address and phone number are the exact ones listed here. Neither is correct. Neither is the spelling of my name for that matter.

Why don't "Mary" and "Bill" and "John" give proof that I trained their dog? Right, because "they" have no proof because I didn't. This is all just a smear campaign put on a site like this one because he knows they won't remove it. Google "Kevin Salem dog trainer" to see who this troll really is.

What proof do you guys have that this is Kevin? So far what I've read about this posting is pretty believeble.

Sorry Michele, but you messed up and now keep on posting different lies to justify your actions.

And this web site loves it.

They get more traffic. :-)

Michelle and I took a dog class together last year and got to know each other through the class. She's pretty smart with dogs and her dog is fantastic, but she doesn't train anyone else's dogs, not even mine (and God knows he could use the help!).

And she never had ANY dog when she lived in Liverpool. Don't believe me? Call up the apartment complex she lived in. Dogs aren't allowed there.

Shortly before she moved out a woman who lived in the next apartment watched someone's dog for a weekend in her place. Someone ratted on her to the management, she got charged $1000, got her security deposit taken away, and was told she had one month to vacate her apartment. And this was with a super quiet dog! Michelle never even heard the dog while it was there.

She only heard about it as the woman was moving out. Do you really think anyone wouldn't have reported noisy untrained dogs to the management? Logic, folks. Anyone who believes this report is as *** as Kevin Salem is.

"John" and "Mary" are just fake posts by her stalker attempting to ruin the business she doesn't even have.

This Kevin Salem guy is just making up fake reports because he's angry that she doesn't think he's a good trainer and because, from what I've read of his e-mails to her, he's a woman-hating freak.

He sent her a picture of a dog humping his head! What kind of *** does that?
