Marita offers online coaching for those who are unable to attend in-person training sessions. The training is all completed on this website, in a section reserved specifically for those with a membership. Training memberships are available in 6-week blocks and can be purchased lower down this page.
If you’re unable to get to Marita in person, you’re in luck. Marita offers 6-week blocks of online coaching that aren’t just focussed on the canine skills side of your partnership. As well as offering detailed support, tuition and coaching for agility training, trick training, drill or course maps and competition reviews, you can also turn to Marita for your own diet, fitness, physical health and mental mindset.
As well as her vast titles in the agility world, Marita holds a First Class Honours Degree in Psychology, giving her the insight and skill to formulate comprehensive training plans which feature both you and your dog in equal measure. She has a particularly high success rate in help with competition mindset, routines and mental preparation, allowing you to go further than you ever thought possible as a partnership.
Coaching is 100% private, so nobody other than Marita will be able to see your training videos and notes. Unlike other online systems, the member’s area has a private messaging system, which is by default, private. There is no set course on Marita’s online coaching, all advice is tailored to you & your dog. Below you can see the areas you can cover, you might choose to focus on one area or all of them, there is no limit on how many you pick.
6 Week blocks can cover:
Training Video Reviews & Coaching
Competition Video Reviews & Coaching
Running Contacts Support & Coaching
Trick Training & Skills Development
Training Courses & Drill Plans
Fitness & Health Guidance
Diet & Nutrition Support
Mental Preparation Coaching

Online Coaching FAQs
How do I start?
Super simple – head to the bright pink row above and read the info there before clicking on the photo of Harvey. Once there, add the “product” to your cart and follow the checkout instructions.
Once complete, you’ll have an account and be logged in automatically. You’ll also have received an email with a special “members only” link in it. Click that link and you’ll end up at the “I’m In, What Next?” page. Just follow the instructions to start a conversation with Marita and you’re home free!
Can I have help with multiple dogs?
Sure! There’s one option for access with 1 dog, and another for 2 dogs. Just pick which suits you. Adding multiples just adds time to the end of your access period, so try to not do this! The 2 dog access product gives you the second dog half price. Perfect!
Once you’re set up, just start a thread for each of your dogs, it keeps everything neat and tidy and helps Marita help you faster.
How long do I get access for?
The default length of membership access is 6 weeks, but you can very easily extend that by adding more “6 Week Access” products to your cart. Each access is added on to your account. For example, if you purchased 2 x 6 Weeks Access in the shop, you’ll get 12 weeks of continuous membership to the system.
Can I pause my access?
Unfortunately, this isn’t an option, from the moment the purchase is made, the 6-week countdown is on. In exceptional circumstances, we’d suggest contacting Marita direct who can discuss training options with you. Marita herself cannot extend your membership but it can be manipulated by the website manager, so it is only in exceptional circumstances that membership changes can be made.
Can I back out of my access?
Once you have commenced the training process, by following the steps on the “New? Start Here!” page, you are active for the duration of your membership. If at any point you are unhappy with the level of service you are receiving, contact Marita directly to discuss future training options.
I’m in, but I have no idea what to do. Help!?
Don’t panic! First, are you logged in? Head to the “Online Hub” in the top menu, if the option to “Log In” is in that menu, you aren’t logged in yet. Make sure you’re logged in then, in that menu, head to “I’m In, What Next?”. Follow the instructions on that page to the letter and you’ll be on the home straight.
If you can’t access the “I’m In, What Next?” page, your membership has either expired or it has not gone through correctly. In the latter case, please contact Marita to pass the issue to the website manager. You will need to provide proof of purchase in this situation.
What happens when my membership expires?
You’ll still be able to log in and access the forums, but you will have no access to the messaging system which the private tuition centres around.
You can, at any time, extend your access or renew it after it has expired. Just make sure you are logged in and then purchase another 6 Week Access block – you’re messaging access will open straight back up and you can continue just like nothing changed!
