This small space sequence is great for practicing connection and setting the right lines for your dog. It will also show you whether or not you and your dog need to re-balance your obstacle/handler focus (we're looking at you, tunnel suckers)!

If you don't have two tunnels, you could also replace the right one for a set of weaves for example.

The key to this sequence is to maintain connection with your dog, and give early information so they see the right obstacles on their line.
