Now did I enhance it or did the ball coming at them at a high rate of speed enhance their ability? Either way, the ability improved with the choice of experiences.

Same with the dogs. I am not saying a dog with absolutely no ability can be transformed into an elite wrestling machine. But anything one does in that area to help teach and prepare the dog is 'enhancing' whatever little ability the dog had from the start. Same with conditioning. A dog on the chain that can give his all for 30 minutes (just a number) and then is properly fed and properly worked should be able to go 45 minutes or an hour, (again just a number). Thus his conditioning was enhanced.

I answered the post based on the word enhanced not substituting that word with creation. Two different things. S
I think the baseball example is a great example so i will go with that it may help get what i am saying across a little better. For example your baseball team will be going against a pitcher that always throws low and away so to prepare your team you PLAN on using a pitching machine to throw low and away to your batters. When you set your pitching machine up it malfunctions the entire practice and pitches in the center of the strike zone(the area where your batters are already very profecient at batting). At the end of that practice did you enhance your players ability to bat against the low and away pitcher? No you did not.
