A trick that my father taught me with an over eager dog ( we used flushing labs) and a few of my friends use now, is to let the dog out of the truck about a mile away from where you are going to hunt.
Truck takes off, dog runs after truck, and all is well by the time you get to the hunting area!
of course, you need to be in an area where you can do this - a busy road would be dangerous for the dog.
