How can I stop from running away when he's not on the leash?

I have a dog that is part husky, she is about a year and a half now. Whenever she gets off of her leash she will run and not stop. I mean, she is really good and listen's well when we are in the house. But once she gets the chance she will run and NOT STOP. Does anyone know of a way that I can get her to stop running. Whether it takes weeks or months. We've tried trusting her, giving her chances but it just doesn't work. Once she starts running you can't really chase after her because she will just run more.
Can anyone help me stop her from running away? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

ps. sorry is this is awkwardly worded.

Well, dogs aren't people.. giving a dog chances will do NOTHING. I think shock collars are a horrible idea, try those "invisible fences". Look up what the Cesar, the "Dog Whisperer" says on the subject... I'm sure you can find something. He's magnificent.

One of my dogs was like that. Fortunately, he wasn't getting any younger.

I'm not sure if you could do this to your dog (and to your house), but this is what my family did: we put the cage right next to the door. Before we opened the door, we pointed to the cage and told him to get inside. Since we never really trained him, we first had to physically put him inside the cage. He resisted and he struggled, but we were bigger and we were stronger. Eventually he got the idea that he wasn't supposed to run away from home, so every time he left the house he always came back. The key here is to be strict. Show your dog who's boss and the wonderful things a boss can do to you.

Unlike the rest of my dogs (who all but disappeared), he died at home of old age and loneliness. RIP, old pal.

I don't think the whole cage thing will work. Whenever we are not home she is in her cage. SImply because she also likes to chew. Seeing as how she spends so much time in there I don't think it would be a very good plan. She will go and lie in there just because.
As for your response Sarah, I am currently looking into that.
Thanks to both of you

I have the same problem with a little 2 yr old Boston. Nutured, onery, and one of the funniest dog I have ever seen. Have started blowing a whistle every now and then and he comes running in the house. Reward with a treat each time. Will use this several times again before trying him outside. For some reason, have been able to catch him by opening a stranger's car door [with their permission] and have gone to someones door and opening the screen door as tho I am going in and he will appear and try to get in ahead of me. With short hair, no tail, and no real handle to grab I use a halter on him instead of a collar. At least it gives me a second chance to grab and maybe catch him. Also think there is less chance of him hanging himself if he should get tangled in something with a halter. Seems it is not as much fun if no one chases him as tho it is just a game. One gal that was helping me once just sat down on the ground and ignored him and he came to her. Happy Chasing!!!

spray it with water and yell NO! to it and if it dosnt stop once you catch up to it kick it

Keep it on the leash =)

hahaha

gammin.
no idea sorry.

'commonsense' I'm currently trying that right now. She seems to be listening to it in the house. Hope it works *crosses fingers* &thanks

'diedeadenough' First of all, spraying water will do nothing, seein as how I spray her with waterguns in the summer for fun. Second, I'm not going to kick my dog. I'm sorrry but t don't abuse animals.

'shanii' The whole point of me asking this question is so I don't need to have her on a leash at all times. Thanks anyways.
