Materials:
1 kitchen chair
1 bored corgi in need of entertainment
Handful of dog kibble or small treats

Execution:

Mark and reward corgi with a tossed treat for doing interesting things primarily surrounding chair and quietly. Also intermittently toss treat to the silent black dog lying peacefully next to human on couch.
Result:
Wagging tail silent corgi moving in general figure 8 type pattern through and around legs and rungs of chair ending in a down with corgi head resting on rungs of chair while human remains comfortably snuggled in blanket on couch and black dog remains peacefully chill beside said human.
Conclusion: adorable happiness for all.
