I don't think it is a good idea to walk your dog outside off leash, even if you train him to come to you as soon as you call him, what happens if a larger dog gets to him while he is off leash. Not much chance of saving him if a large dog runs off with him. The best way to get him trained to listen to you is to take him to obidence classes. Most kennel clubs hold these classes, or there may even be a place that a professional holds classes for them. You need to check in your area for these.
