Put up a fence or train the dog. But since your dog already KNOWS she can run away from you, you're going to have your work cut out for you. Some breeds (like terriers and hounds) will NEVER be reliable off-leash, no matter how good a trainer you are.

This is a tricky question to answer without the opportunity to see how you usually train your dog. In any case, please keep in mind that consistency and patience are part of a good trainer's arsenal.
1. realize that you will not succeed the first time so you need to be in control of the whole situation at all time.
2. don't let her out on her own! She might bet bored, distracted by something across the street or otherwise get into trouble.
3. When you're out with her, play with her a bit. Keep special treats in your pockets that will only be given out during training (something to help her pay attention and to look forward to). **Don't forget, unlike for humans, the intention is more important than the amount of treats, so you don't need to overdo it.**
4. Stay until she gets her business done.
5. When it's done, pretend she just found a cure for cancer and celebrate by praising her like crazy and petting her and laughing and genuinely being happy and pleased. Hand out a couple of treats.
6. Go back inside, and out a treat once inside and more praising, of course.
7. Repeat as often as necessary.
8. Every time she comes in, giver her a treat and some praise.
Best of luck,
Fellow dog lover
P.S. This technique works pretty much for *every* problems you might encounter!

Well, coaching, definitely. Meantime, a tighter collar and a SHORT leash. If you'll be able to have compatibility two arms beneath the collar, it is too free. Don't ever use the ones retractable flexi-leashes. Use a two-foot or four-foot result in hold him proper beside you. You relatively should not be jogging him in an open discipline till he is got a few leash manners. You can paintings on leash coaching on your dwelling and your possess backyard. THEN you'll be able to competently use a 6-foot leash for walks. Please do not kick your puppy. I've needed to lodge to grabbing mine through the hair as soon as while he acquired free in visitors, so I comprehend why you felt that kicking was once most suitable to him being run over!

she has not learned a "come here" command. Get a long leash or rope, and take her outside, and call her and while calling her, pull the leash closer and closer to you. When she gets there, make her sit and give her a treat. Do this over and over again using the same command, until she learns that when you call her it's no all fun and games and she needs to respond. It takes work to train a dog to behave in the manner you want.

Sorry, hun, but the only thing you can do is take her out on a leash, until she learns that she can't run away. Discipline is something this dog sorely needs. Dogs are just like children, if you don't discipline them, they will not learn. Take her to an obedience school as well.

The invisible fence is the most humane option.
Obedience school is the second best.

Without good training, your dog will not just listen to you....So you either need to pay the money for training or you'll have to put in a dog leed, fence, or walk the dog yourself

some dogs just dont have that loyalty that makes them come right back and you might have one of those dogs. i would suggest some behavioral training (also a bonding experience for both of you) and just take him out on a leash until he realizes that running is not the acceptable thing to do.

Your dog should be trained to obey. Petsmart offers free classes. Ask your local Petsmart for a schedule.
Also, as another option you may just want to keep your dog on a leash while it does its duty.

You would have to train her. I mean I am not sure of anthing else you could use. You could try to train her yourself or you could go to like those doggie schools. Or you could walk her everyday. Either around the block or around the yard. Exercise is always good for the both of you. What could it hurt?
