Question
I have a 5 months jack terrier Russell. She is very disciplinary and playful when she's at home, but outside she is completely disobedient. Because she is still being potty train we take her outside first in the morning but not matter what happens she wonders away with any stranger following them unstoppably, she climbs into their porches and is completely unresponsive to her already learned "no" to which she turns back and ignores it completely...is a hell of a job to get her back in the house, what can I do?

Answer
Dear Viie, Thanks for the question.
Off leash "come" is an advanced skill. First you have to master the basic skills.(smile)

Attach a leash or long line to her before you take her outside. Find a trainer who can teach you how to take her through the different levels of "come". Buy the book, Beginning Family Dog Training.

Happy Training!
