Do you mean creeping towards you?
The easy answer to that is to remove the incentive! In training, never ever recall her from the stop. But more than that, when out walking, and my dog is out in front of me, I'll blow the stop whistle, then when it sits I'll toss a dummy over it's head then sent her back for it. If she is too far out to be able to toss the dummy over her head then I'll toss it out to one side of her and redirect to that. Can you see how that removes the incentive to come towards me? But it also gives a reason for stopping, and the retrieve is the reward.
Regards, John

Thanks John,
I will wait until its a bit cooler this evening and try that.
Yes she will sometimes commando crawl towards me when I'm not looking. It wouldn't be the first time I've gone to instruct her and found the place where I left her is empty and to find a very happy Lab sat at attention at my feet.
