Reply to comment by Beardedshadow 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

I almost edited my comment because I anticipated this response. I didn't mean to dismiss the skill required in dog training, or the physical prowess of the dogs that compete. Both dog and trainer put in a buttload of time for these competitions.

I was saying that i feel changing the order of the obstacles doesn't change the fact that the dog can recognize what to do on any given obstacle.

I guess i'm not seeing why this is a big deal. Its still just a bunch of things the dog has been trained to do. Its not like they roll out a bunch of novel obstacles the dog has to figure out on the fly.
