Random sits and downs is a great way to to get it. While just playing with the dog . I would suggest giving a verbal release command and then the reward. Once the dog understands that with the release the reward is as good as given you can then then reward the dog with the release command from a distance and then reward the toy shortly after. Introduce all of this during the game of random sits and downs.
Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
The big issue for me with distance commands is the inabilty to reinforce. The dog knows how long it takes for you to get back there and at some point he may decide he's safe to not bother. Using the pully method sometimes just pulls up a dog into a position that he doesn't care about. I began using the ecollar for this reason and it helped a great deal. It pushes the dog up from the bottom by his own strength instead of pulling with yours.
I start the positions on a place board to prevent the creeping. I put the collar on the stomach to reinforce the "stand" but I'm sure it would work on the "sit" as well. I would reteach the sit using the collar on the lowest possible stim. when the dog knows what it means, you can reinforce the "sit" from 100 yards away and you can make it flashy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
