Discussing situations on the forum has definitely made me a better umpire and I want to thank you guys for that.
It would also help that if you make a verbal out call followed by a safe sign that you very emphatically sell this call verbally, and repeatedly, SAFE, SAFE and repeat the safe sign. Then the runner will not be so inclined to leave for the dugout.
