This occurs when she escapes into the front street. She will come when called in the house and in the back fenced yard. She has daily walks that total to an hour or so and these walks always start out the front door. She will run up and down the street and even around the corner for as much as 1/2 hour. Too hard to catch and she knows it. She will return only when it suits her. Can't even consider an off leash dog walk area. There are times when she gets so excited about a visitor or something she sees outside that only a tug on the collar gets her attention. We have tried showing her the pack leader by taking complete control. She will sit, lay down, go to bed, roll over and leave the kitchen table area on demand but will not come when called.
