First and Foremost the Dog needs to be tired BEFORE you EVER try to do any off leash training. Next I would purchase yourself a long lead (12' plus) Not a retractable leash, but an actual long line. Get yourself a bag of chicken, hot dogs-Whatever the dog likes that is Stinky) Take dog out to park, woods where-ever. Let the dog sniff around and call it back, when it comes back praise the dog and give it food. Do this 100+ times-You'll have the dog trained that coming to you means Happy yummy food. Start this training somewhere quiet with little distractions, and slowely move it to where other people, and/or dogs are at. This works with 90% of dogs. What-ever training you use will not work Unless you practise and only use one type, the more time you put into it...The better the dog will do! But finding a good trainer/club....Well there is Nothing better that you could do for YOU or YOUR dog imo.
