Similarly, I have found that flapping one's arms and shrieking "MOVE! Everybody MOVE!!" at the top of one's voice will eventually result in a clear path. And we return to training "Back" .........

One or two small steps back and I marked and rewarded. I'll do another session or two of this, and then remove the lure... Thanks all!

When the dog is into the narrow space, start to lure the dog so that he knows 'backing up is the way to get a reward and to get out'. Then you should start palovian conditioning with a whole lot of distractions. Hope that helps!
