Here's part of an elite chances course from our last trial. The line that can't be crossed is after the "first" curved tunnel. We got most of this including a discrimination of an A-Frame and Tunnel after the last jump from a large distance. In this course, you take the curved tunnel and then go around the outside staying behind the 0 line. I did great moderating my steps and leaving plenty of room to drive out to the first 2 jumps. People that did not save room had trouble driving out to the first 2 jumps. Wyatt took the tunnel back towards me. The mistake I made was trying to give an "out" command after the second tunnel. That drew his attention towards me and to the tunnel. Successful teams kept running parallel to the dog. I also found that this worked at home after a little practice.
