Oh, he'll definitely get the idea!
Put him on a leash and walk with him. Then start to run backward, calling him in an excited voice. He'll turn around and run straight for you. Make him sit when he arrives at your feet. Then praise and pet him with a lot of enthusiasm. Do this a few times in a row a few times a day.
Demi learned this with hardly any training at all. I think it's because she's so owner-focused, and I'll bet your dog is too.
