Wine In One Hand, Clicker In The Other: Chair Games ft. Linda Hughes
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
Send us a textWhat if one of your most effective training sessions happens on a chair?In this episode, we dig into “glass of wine” games: short, calm, indoor training sessions that turn bad weather, busy days, pain flare-ups, or limited mobility into genuine progress.Anchoring yourself in a chair strips out all the noise.No over-helping.No micromanaging.Just clear information, steady reinforcement, and a dog who suddenly understands exactly what you mean.That simplicity builds confidence fast and strengthens your relationship in a way a muddy sprint never will.We break down practical indoor training you can use tonight:• Retrieve-from-a-chair (precision without pressure)• Strong hand targets and chin rests for calmer handling• Verbal cue discrimination so your words actually matter • Living-room scent searches that grow optimism and reliable returns • Confidence circuits—tiny, customisable routes for puppies and sensitive dogsMovement fans get a full toolkit, too: • Cavalletti rails for rhythm, balance, and clean trot lines • Balanced stands for core strength and stillness • Position changes—sit/down/stand, bow, “look forward”—for tighter focus and better body awarenessEvery idea has the same goal: repeatable wins in close proximity that build trust, clarity, and better behaviour.When you do step outside again, you’ll walk out with cleaner cues, more control, and a dog who sees you as the most exciting thing in the room.Ready for a five-minute chair session tonight?Hit play, grab a handful of treats, and tell us which indoor game your dog loved most.If this episode helped, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend stuck indoors with an energetic dog.Support the showIf you’re loving the podcast, you’ll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!
