After 15 years of working in marketing, Michele Longo finally jumped off the corporate ladder and went straight into dogs!

Michele first got her feet we working with dogs in her position as the playtime manager at an area pet resort. In her free time, she began observing a variety of area training centers. Tails-U-Win! had a big appeal because of the emphasis on positive, reward based training methods.

 In the year 2000, Michele officially began her one year training internship with Leslie Nelson at Tails-U-Win!, LLC. She not only trained under Leslie’s direct guidance, but was also able to benefit from observing and assisting the many versatile and talented trainers at Tails-U-Win!, LLC.

 Michele now trains seven days a week at 5 different training centers including Saturdays and Sundays at Tails-U-Win! and takes pride in having initiated the popular small breed program on Saturdays which includes Family Dog I & II and agility. On any given day, she also provides private, in-home training consultations throughout Central and Southeastern Connecticut.

 As a trainer, Michele enjoys passing along on what she has learned to her many training assistants and is happy to offer her time as a mentor to those who are interested in exploring the world of dog training. Michele also takes great pleasure in being able to pass on her skills and passion for Positive Reinforcement training to the many families looking for a well mannered family dog.

 Michele spends her own playtime with her two beloved dogs, Coco, a 10 year old dachshund and Gibson, a six year old Golden Retriever.
