Training device still wobbling, on being secured (7)

I believe the answer is:

trellis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'training device' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'still wobbling on being secured' is the wordplay.
'wobbling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'being secured' indicates putting letters inside.
'still' is an anagram of 'tllis'.
'tllis' placed around 're' is 'TRELLIS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
