Reply to 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

That's the same for show jumping with horses. Riders get to walk the arena before hand but the horses only see it fit the first time even they enter the arena.
