Gina Schlosser

Gina started her love of working with all kinds of animals as a volunteer at the Buffalo Zoo, and then as a zoo apprentice. She would educate the public about the animals in the zoo and talked about wildlife conservation.

Gina also has a fondness for farm animals, she has worked as a stable hand, owned a horse and loves riding.

Gina started volunteering at the Niagara County SPCA, where she learned about dog behavior and got her start in training and socializing dogs. She worked with dogs of all types but mainly scared dogs, deaf dogs, disabled dogs. Her favorite work is with deaf dogs. When her little Border Terrier went deaf she was not able to communicate with him. She developed a relationship and bond like no other when it came to working with deaf dogs at the Shelter. She wants everyone to be able to understand and bond with their deaf dogs.

While training her new Australian Shepherd pup Lexi, she was ready to do agility class with Lexi when she came to Canine Complex and friends and met Jeannine Jay. Jeanine Jay started Gina into the world of dog training, gave her an internship, and soon Gina earned her certificate as a Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (C.C.T.B.S).

Gina still volunteers at the Niagara County SPCA, now working with the cats that have behavior problems and special needs. She is head of the behavioral team for cats and earned her certificate as a Feline Training and Behavior Specialist (C.F.T.B.S).

To this day Gina, still volunteers at the Niagara County SPCA, works with behavioral cats, and works at Canine Complex and Friends to help people understand and train their dogs to form an everlasting bond.

She teaches Puppy Experience and Obedience classes at Canine Complex & Friends.
