I taught Bison to stay in our front yard when he goes out with me to get something out of the car, or take out the trash. I use the public sidewalk as a boundry. Did this by just telling him no when he stepped close to the boundry and "yes" when he steps back in.

When I take the trash to the curb, I always down him in the same spot then when I return I free him and throw his ball. Becasue of all the repetition, he usually runs to that spot and lays down to chew his ball and wait for me.
