Train your dog to 'Stop!' on command, so that he sees it as a big win every time he does it with lots of real, happy, heartfelt praise as you look into his eyes, big smile on your face & his very favorite-most treat each time he does it, an uh-oh and disappointed scowl, no reward is he doesn't. Over time, if he sees you as his pack-leader, he should learn how wonderful stopping is for him and happily freeze in place every time you request/order a stop as he knows the lottery win he's in for.
Basic, upbeat, happy obedience training teaches your dog over time to do what you request and they learn how great always responding to your requests is for them. Eventually, obeying you becomes a habit, something they just happily do by rote as you still treat/praise every correct response and they grow to love that win. Don't always treat every correct response after the first 2 months of training so that the treat is always looked upon as just that - a treat; but always lovingly praise every time they obey you.
Tibbe was a door-darter so I trained him not to leave his front yard as a preventative as my sister's dog got run over and killed before her eyes after dashing out the door and into the street in the path of a car. At age 111/2, he's never left his front yard, because he's sees doing what I request as a bigger win!
