ABOUT OUR TRAINERS
Meet The Off Leash K9 Team
Matt Ferramosca – Owner
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, stress-free lives within their homes
carl griffith – Director of trainer development
Carl started his journey with Off Leash K9 5 years ago as a lesson client with his English Mastiff, Caesar. Caesar developed some reactive issues when Carl and his wife found out they were expecting their first child. After completing Advanced Obedience and learning how to navigate life with all the tools to help Caesar, Carl realized the love he always had working with dogs had grown.
Carl started training his own personal dogs at a very young age, beginning with his Pitbull, Wish. His pack has since grown to include Caesar, the English Mastiff, Dasha, the Dobermann, and Freibird, the Dutch Shepard mix, as well as his wife and 2 sons. Dog training is a way of life for the family and everyone gets involved.
For Carl the most rewarding part of dog training is helping each family work through their unique issues and build bonds with each other. Helping clients give their dogs all the rewards of the Off Leash life is what it’s all about.

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.

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!
