Just train him to stop in place and stand fast when you say stop and make it sooooooo very great a reward when he does it, he'll knock himself out stopping for you any time he hears that word. Tibbe thinks he's won the lottery when I say "Stop!" as he knows he's in for good times ahead and a lot of praise, clapping/dancing with him and serial treats and yipping and yahing and telling him how wonderful he is for 5 minutes. And, we practice "stop" at least two times a week. But he won't run off now - much prefers winning the fun game of "stop".
