Holy shit, I thought it was a standardized thing they practice before the event. This is a definite TIL for me as well.

Yep same here! Constantly amazed to learn how smart doggos are!

I think that wouldn’t work for most dogs anyway. Even in dancing for dogs, which is a set routine, our dog sometimes remembers bits and pieces but generally every single move is cued.

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.
