With a lot of training! But until then it's important not to let her get out. With the possibility of car accidents, dognappings, etc. it's up to us to be diligent in keeping them safe.

In my house (and my boys are college age) I have a sign on all my doors that reads "do not open this door until the dogs are secured! I don't care who it is or how long they have to wait."

I also keep a crate near the front door so if the bell rings and they run to the door, I put them in the crate to answer the it. (the bathroom is another good alternative).

I don't even know if mine would run out the front door, but I don't want to find out.

Maybe try training her with some kind of barrier or gate beyond the front door (like a "U" shaped X-pen) until she gets it, but even then I'd be cautious.
