I hired ARSENAL K9, a Canadian dog training company, to help me train my dog, Vinnie. Last week I drove to northern Idaho to meet them and bring Vinnie home.

Vinnie went through intense training for three weeks. I invested significant money to have him professionally trained and his reactivity corrected.

But guess what?

His training will all go down the drain quickly if I don’t maintain it.

It’s just like weight loss. You spend all this time, money and effort to lose your weight, but you don’t maintain it, so you gain it all back. It doesn’t make sense, does it?

Having Vinnie professionally trained and his problems gone is a dream come true for me. I didn’t know how to do it myself, so I hired a professional.

For you, losing your weight and hitting goal is a dream come true.

Arsenal K9 also spend a day and a half training ME on how to handle Vinnie from here forward. They sent me home with a list of rules, dos and don’ts, daily training activities and all the details I need to continue his training.

My dog is now trained.
I’ll be trained.
I can reach out for support if I need it.

You’ve lost your weight.
You’ve learned how to maintain it.
You can reach out for support if you need it.

There is absolutely no difference here. I see it very black-and-white.

If I don’t keep up with my dog’s training, he’ll revert back to his old ways. I’ll have wasted thousands of dollars and be back to being frustrated with my dog.

Is that Arsenal’s fault? NOPE. They did their job.

Same thing with you and your weight loss. You’ve got to follow the program so you can not only lose your weight, but maintain your weight loss…because if you don’t, you’ll be back to being fat, sick and miserable.

If you don’t brush and floss your teeth, they rot.

If you don’t bathe your body, it gets dirty and is more likely to get an infection or illness.

If you don’t get regular maintenance on your car, it falls apart.

It’s all the SAME. EXACT. THING.

If you do something to get a result, then do nothing to keep it, you won’t keep it.

If you don’t proactively maintain, loss will happen automatically.

You’ve GOT to stay on top of it, for life, if you wanna keep the result (like weight loss), just like I’ve got to stay on top of Vinnie’s training, for life, to keep his behavior what Arsenal’s trained it to be.

I care about you and I want you healthy. Reach out for help.

You can do this.
