Meet The Off Leash K9 Team

Matt Ferramosca - Co-Owner

Matt Ferramosca (Owner) stumbled his way into Off Leash K9 Training a little over 7 years ago when his Pitbull/Husky mix, Annabel, was in dire need of some off leash training. While a very smart dog and excellent INSIDE, she was a bit of a rascal and loved to play tag, her favorite game, while outside off leash. In addition, Matt could not get a grasp on Annabel’s intense prey drive as Annabel would not hesitate to take off after a squirrel, deer or rabbit. 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 7+ 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 - Co-Owner

Rachel Moseley began her time with Off Leash K9 Training as a client 2 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 spent a lot of time at the Children’s hospital and in schools providing affection, comfort and love to a variety of people in need. 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.

Rae Torres - Trainer

Rae worked with special needs children for almost 10 years before joining Off Leash K9 Training. She’s always had a heart for therapy and helping others.

While working with special needs individuals, she encountered many therapy dogs. Rae loved what these dogs were able to do for kids and their families.

She decided to change her career from helping children to helping dogs be the best they can be for their loved ones!

CASSIE WAGNER- Trainer

Cassie Wagner walked through the Off Leash K9 Training door several years ago with a dog whom she never thought off leash obedience would be possible with. After just a few lessons she reached her goal of off leash reliability with her dog, Talcon, and her mind was blown. Cassie has been working professionally with domestic animals for over 10 years with various jobs including a veteranarian’s office, dog daycare/boarding and training facility, a whole foods market for pets, and now with Off Leash K9 Training since 2017. She studied Wildlife Management and Conservation at Delaware Valley University and has also been part of a Whitetail Deer Adopt a Fawn project and volunteers her time hawk, owl, and songbird banding with a team of registered officials from the Little Gap Banding Project.

Amanda Gonchar - Trainer

Amanda Gonchar came across an amazing opportunity to become a trainer for Off Leash K9 after being in the veterinary field for 4 years. Amanda knew she always wanted to work with dogs & after getting a Great Dane puppy she realized how important it is to train a dog, especially a giant breed. Amanda’s Great Dane, Donovan got her into training. She started training with Donovan at 12 weeks old & hasn’t stopped since.

After realizing how much she enjoyed it & seeing how much fun Donovan was having she decided to switch career paths. Amanda & Donovan are a Certified Therapy Dog team & frequently visit schools, libraries, rehab centers & children’s transitional residence.

Amanda wants to help owners have a long, happy, obedient life with their dog.
