Hi!
You should begin to use the word home to help your dog associate home with
your house. My dog has a strong will, and sometimes she doesn't want to go
home, so she walks on past, but she knows where home is.
:-)
I also recognize certain cracks in the sidewalk which let me know we've gone
past, certain echoes off of walls, and of course, the sound of the
approaching intersection which let me know where we are.
Good luck!
