ABOUT OUR TRAINERS
Meet The Off Leash K9 Team
Matt Ferramosca – Owner
After graduating from OLK9’s Basic and Advanced Obedience Program, Annabel became an ambassador for her breed, and Matt was sold on Off Leash K9 Training’s ability to change peoples’ lives in addition to their canine companions. Matt loves talking with clients and discussing how his obedience programs will be able to meet their unique training needs en route to establishing a happy and healthy hierarchy within the clients’ “pack.”
Matt has 9+ years of experience working with advanced canine obedience and behavior modification with Off Leash K9 Training. In this time, he has trained 4,000+ dogs, and he has made progress with each and every one. Matt will work with any behavioral issue, breed, or client.
Rachel Moseley Bare – general manager
Rachel Moseley Bare began her time with Off Leash K9 Training as a client 7 years ago. Her Labrador retriever Monte was an incredibly loving and playful 1 year old that carried with him a bit of stubbornness and strong will. Rachel knew his calm demeanor and desire to be around people would make him a perfect therapy dog, but she needed help getting him under control on a leash.
After graduating from Basic Obedience, Monte and Rachel went on to complete Therapy Dog training. That experience as a client helped Rachel realize she had a passion for understanding dog behavior and for helping others achieve a similar life of Off Leash obedience for their dog.
Today, Rachel and Monte spend a lot of time at the Children’s hospital, in schools and among first responders providing affection, comfort and love to a variety of people in need. Now, Rachel also has a 1yo Labrador Emmy who is beginning Search and Rescue and will continue therapy work like her older brother Monte.
Rachel likes learning about clients and helping each one incorporate obedience into their individual lifestyles. She enjoys seeing owners become the pack leader and create happy lives within their homes
Erica Tillger – senior Trainer
Erica from Sudlersville, Maryland has always loved dogs. Erica is intrigued by dogs’ ability to learn new concepts and commands. Erica has trained her own dogs her entire life, but seeing others struggle with their dogs time and again made her want to help others.
Erica has her first Border Collie Lottie, 2 other Border Collies Fern and Sky, a Cane Corso named Riley, and a Belgian Malinois Suki. She enjoys dock diving, barn hunts and trips to the beach or hiking with all her pups! Through Off Leash K9 Training, Erica has added many tools into her training tool belt.
Erica enjoys working with clients to help them achieve happy and stress-free lives with their pups!
Marquis brown – Trainer
Growing up, Marquis always had a love for animals and had dreams to be a Veterinarian. As he got older, his love kept growing for dogs, particularly as he grew up around Rottweilers. Learning to train them was a hobby of his at a very young age. Marquis has 2 of his own personal dogs (Bella and Dutches) who he loves very much as if they are his children. He enjoys teaching his dogs new commands and taking them on adventures with the family.
Being able to work with dogs as a career is a dream come true for Marquis. He told his dad at age 16 that he wanted to be a professional dog trainer. At the time, his Dad did not realize it was even a career! So Marquis went to college to become a teacher and worked in the education field for about 7 years. In his free time, he would help his family and friends train their dogs, so transitioning as a full-time dog trainer was a breathe of fresh air!
Marquis loves making a difference in his clients’ lives that he works with everyday. Ending each day knowing he has helped a family puts the biggest smile on his face and looks forward to continuing to make an impact on others!
ALEXUS EVERLY – Trainer
Alexus always knew she wanted to work with dogs, even from a young age. As a child, she lived with her Grandmother who would train and breed Labrador Retrievers. She owned many dogs and it was surrounded by those dogs that Alexus’ love of dogs began to develop.
Originally in school to study pre-veterinary medicine and work in the Veterinary field, Alexus ended up falling in love with her part time job of dog walking. In those jobs, she met a very high energy German Shepherd that she unintentionally trained with a ball. After seeing that progress and the sense of accomplishment she felt, Alexus knew a job in training was where she wanted to be. Today, she has 2 older Boston Terriers as a part of her crew at home.
For Alexus, the best part of the job is the look on clients’ faces when they see improvement in their dogs.
