I had a dog once who just could not control his impulse to run away in an exciting situation. I was so scare he would run out I front of a car. I made a long leash out of heavy test fishing line. When I would put it on him it was so light and invisible that he often would not know it was there. But....I would put it on him when the kids would run down the street or the cats would run throught the yard and hang on to my end for dear life (he almost weighed more than I did) -- after about the fourth time he became air borne at the end of that teather he got the message that he had to always act as though he was on the teather and he started listening better and we had very few problems.
It was all about paying attention to me and not the distraction.
