Joseph Schoepp Webboard User Reg: 08-10-2003 Posts: 26 Loc: Florida Offline	Hello, My GSD is 1 year old. She performs her basic obedience well on leash. She also comes when called and sits when off leash, sometimes. My problem is lately she just decides to run off when off leash. Most of the time she stays right with me (front and backyard) though. This is becoming a problem, since when she runs off, she runs to neighbors front doors. When I call her back, she just looks at me and then keeps going. I then follow her and she still attempts to elude me. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help, Joseph Schoepp

So step one....stop doing off leash work for now. If you're giving her a command that you can't enforce ( off leash ), you're making a major training error and you need to review your goals and make sure that you have the tools ( long line, e collar, etc. ) and knowledge base to train a particular exercise.

It sounds like exactly what Will indicated, you are rushing things. Back up a few steps, do not let this dog off leash until 100% of on leash whether its a 10ft leash or 100ft leash is perfect. Your currently showing her to not listen you. This forum is great! Are we dog trainers or are we being trained?
