Question 3

❓What if I can't make the LIVE coaching sessions?

Accepted Answer

Don't panic! Although we'd highly recommending trying to carve out some time to make the most of the coaching available to you, they will be recorded for to catch up on and you'll also have access to the #AskLisa portal too. Otherwise, you are always welcome to pop your question in our private Members Club Hub for feedback too!

Question 4

❓I'm totally new to Mantrailing, is this membership suitable for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You’ll get access to our Introduction Masterclass bolt-on which gives you everything you need to get started with your dog online before putting it into practice on real-world trails together. Where possible, we always encourage members to also train in-person with one of our Mantrailing Global Instructors,(https://www.mantrailingglobal.com/find-an-instructor) as that hands-on experience is invaluable.

Question 5

❓ I already train with a Mantrailing Global Instructor, is it still ok to join?

Accepted Answer

Of course! This membership is designed to enhance your journey and feed your Mantrailing addiction, not hinder it!

Question 6

❓ I already trail, but not with Mantrailing Global. Can I still join?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We love sharing our method, knowledge and experience with Mantrailing teams, no matter what their background.

Question 7

❓Can I Mantrail on my own with my dog?

Accepted Answer

With the Mantrailing Global method, you’ll always need at least one person to lay the trail (hide) for you and your dog, and we suggest having a friend or family member along as a flanker to keep things safe.

There are plenty of fun sniffing games you can do solo - but Mantrailing sadly isn’t one of them!

If you think you'll find it hard getting someone else to join you for trails, see if there is a Mantrailing Global Instructor (https://www.mantrailingglobal.com/find-an-instructor)nearby for you to join sessions with.

Question 8

❓ Will I get private coaching support as a member?

Accepted Answer

This membership is a group programme. Alongside self-paced video trainings, you’ll get advice and support during the LIVE coaching calls and the opportunity to submit your trailing videos for hot-seating at our video analysis sessions. However, if you’d like more tailored 1:1 support, you can upgrade to private coaching at any time.

Private Coaching is offered exclusively to our Mantrailing members and can't be accessed anywhere else.

You can upgrade to private coaching with Lisa at a cost of £160/month + your membership fee, which gives you access to:
- Two x 60-minute Zoom coaching sessions a month.
- Two x personalised video critiques of your own trails a month.
- Direct access to Lisa via WhatsApp for a month for on-going guidance, support and accountability between sessions.

You’ll keep all your membership benefits while receiving your private coaching, and you can carry it on for as long as you need with the freedom to cancel anytime.
