When I was training the stop with Dylan for his Good Citizens Gold , I had his favourite Kong Tennis Ball in my hand. Put my hand up leaning slightly forward as soon as he saw the toy in my hand and he sat I threw the toy behind him, so he was never rewarded by coming forward and then gradually increased the distance between us.  It takes time and I did loads of practises making it fun.  Good Luck.
