Reply to comment by WinoWithAKnife 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

Rock climbers inspect routes before a competition too, but only from the ground. They mime out climbing with occasional binocular inspections. It's like a group dance.

Yeah, I climb, mostly indoors and mostly bouldering, and even then I'll be standing on the ground miming moves
