Cooper Board and Train day 2

Cooper is such a smarty pants. He almost has Autosit, and Down is coming along. His Heel is basically perfect, except for the Autosit. Sometimes in the Heel he gets distracted and lags behind to try to sniff but he doesn't really pull anymore unless a bunny shoots out in front of us. Even then, he cuts it out quickly. Autosit is coming along but isn't quite there yet. Right now when I stop he immediately stops but instead of sitting he stands in this odd half-sit and stares at me as if wondering if I will make him do it. Of course, I do, and he is catching on that it isn't a sometimes thing.
Down is going fine. He only needs a little bit of cueing and then he will lay down on his own. Implied Stay is going well for this too, though if I walk behind him he still hops up every once in a while. 
His Come command is so so. He comes when called but sometimes tries to shoot past me or jump up. We are working on him restraining himself and sitting politely when he gets to me. 
Tomorrow we are going to push the things we worked on today and hopefully start Place. We are getting close to when we will start using the long-line and that is always an exciting first step to off-leash training. Saturdays are busy lesson days for me so he will have a little bit more down time than usual but work will still get done. Which is good because he is always ready to get out and do stuff, like the good little herding dog that he is.
