Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex and a Squirrel podcast. I'm Lauren Langman. I'm one of the world's leading dog trainers and it's my mission to help owners become their dog's top priority. In each episode, you'll discover how to gain trust and

communicate with your dog like never before, creating unbreakable bonds that make you the most

exciting part of their world. Indoor games, you called them something different, though, to me.

I was thinking indoor games and chair games, you called them glass of wine games.

You're so wicked. You're so wicked. So glass of wine games. You called them glass of wine games. You've got to be glass. I'm so wicked.

You're so wicked. So glass of wine games. Now, I've got lots of different reasons that I need to

train in a chair or indoors. I have so many reasons for myself. But I also know you deal with

students that they'll have their own reasons too. And if I think about my students and myself,

I personally, if it's really awful my students and myself, I personally,

if it's really awful, like, windy, I mean, it's quite windy out of this day, but if it's,

if it's really, really wet, sideways rain, the ground is awful. I have sports dogs. They work agility.

As much they want to exercise them, I really don't want to injure them. And when they go

running down in the woods and it's completely muddy and slippy and sheets of rain and sliding, I personally don't find it fun for anyone. I actually also find it with multiple doors, can be a little bit dangerous. And so for me, I'll sometimes play more indoor games when I have days like that. And it's not often that you have a day after day after day after day, but I will think about my indoor games. My indoor games also, I'm lucky enough at home to have the hydrotherapy centre and other bits here. So we've got different indoor games, but I've got a lot of indoor games. Now, I know you play indoor games as well, or as you like to call them. Glass of Wine Games. So what's your reason for your glass of wine games? Because I do think it's great to inspire people. Lasiness, basically. I love it. It's categorized as laziness.

It's categorised as laziness. It's a way of making training and doing things with your dogs achievable. So there's plenty of times when I might be

with somebody or with my own dogs and there's something that needs work. I don't want to go,

oh, I've got to do a training session. I must go here to this place or go and stand in that

space and be in that headspace. You know, I'm going to sit down at the glass of wine in the

sitting room. I might even have some music on and I'll have some treats or some

toys and I'm going to work on the little bit that I want to work on with that one dog.

And that makes it very like easy to do. Achievable. Yeah, absolutely. Achievable and pleasant

for everybody. Especially with a glass of white. What are you going for?

Red or wine?
