I agree with everyone here - practice and reward - as much as possible.

I have just started the 2nd level of training with Jemma who is just a year now. She's perfect in class and then we get outside and the listening clicks off.

One of the things this trainer swears by is the stand/stay and then sit from a distance. There are lots of times when calling your dog back to you could cause them more harm - like crossing a road - and it's better for you to have them stay in place and go to them. I plan on really working hard on this with Jem and she will hopefully get it. She seems quite bright and likes to learn - so she's only limited by me!
