Reply to comment by TypicalJeepDriver in TIL that the dogs in competitive agility don’t rehearse the course ahead of time. The courses are randomized at each competition, and the trainers (without their dogs) only see the layout beforehand on the same day. When the dog runs the course they are literally seeing it for the first time. by Pyraunus

This would then test the dogs memory and speed. The way its done tests the dogs ability to (quickly) understand and follow directions. Which is at the heart of most dog training concepts.
