Marker training as I understand it.

So I started with marker training over the weekend. Jager picked up immediately on what would get a mark... i use "good".. so now he reliably and consistently goes to a heel position (first thing he did that got the mark by chance), and now keeps doing that over and over. Why bother exploring something else if it gets a treat right? So how do I know associate the fuss command (he knew it already) and get him to search for other behaviours that will warrant a mark? Also, I want to mark him coming and sitting in front of me really closely.. he does this now but not as close as I'd like... how to I motivate him to move in closer?
