Until she gets it, I would never let her off lead outside; EVER! When training Monkey, I also tethered him to me and he just followed around anywhere I go. Whether inside or out.
Good luck!

We could try starting back at step one and put her on a longer leash while we're teaching her. She was better at coming when we were first teaching her. That could be a very helpful reminder to her. Thanks

Toys do work more often than running. Sometimes I wonder if she has too many toys at her disposal. We'll try to lure her with one toy, and she'll grab a different toy (or stick or leaf). Thanks
