As a manager I feel more comfortable training staff in an office environment, can I request my direct reports to come in the office for training if they choose to work remotely?

Yes. In most circumstances you can request that an employee come into the office for certain trainings, meetings, or team events. If the training is for a long duration, the schedule should be agreed upon by the employee and manager and the department manager should be notified of the arrangement.
