Reply to comment by Lord_Metagross 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

He goes over the standard course time so there are faults added for each second.

I actually find it rather sad because the husky seems uncomfortable and actually leaves the course for a moment.

BUT that competition only allows two of any one breed in the finals. So if the Husky was clean and happier in the preliminary rounds and the top was filled with the more traditional breeds...the dog got into finals.
