Reply to comment by Pyraunus 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

Also pro tip. The handler is not necessarily the one that trained the dog. And in agility world the person guiding the dog through the course is referred to as the handler :)
