Step one is to stop letting your dog off leash until she is completely reliable on both a leash and a long line. She needs to know an emergency drop and to be proofed (taught to ignore distraction). Proofing especially is not the sort of thing you can learn from a book. You need to enroll in a class taught by a good instructor. Look for a competition obedience class rather than a family dog class, as the competition people do more proofing. You will also need to discard your "come" command. She already has a reward history for ignoring that command. You'll need to start over teaching her to come with a different command, but use the new command ONLY when she is on a leash or a long line and you can enforce the come. Teach her "the cookie game." This is an informal recall. You call out a word that means she will get a treat. If she chooses to come to you, put your hand on her collar and give her the treat. Then release her to go back about her business. With an informal recall she always has a choice whether to come or not. If she comes, she gets a treat. If she doesn't, you walk her down and praise her for being caught, but don't give her the treat (because she didn't keep the deal and come when you offered the cookie). The cookie recall can be used to call her back until the formal recall is established. Remember the cookie recall will never be as reliable as a formal recall because she has a choice whether to come or not. Expect this retraining to take a few months.

No it won't. If you tell it "go" or "run" that is telling your dog to go ahead of you and run. And when you tell it "heel", you are telling it to stop. But you might want to train off leash before you try on leash.

Should dogs be required to be off leash?
No, dogs should be required to be on a leash when walking. First of all some dogs run off. For example if your dog isn't on a leash when your walking and it runs off and gets hit by a car. Next your dog could run away and not be found. For example we all love our animals and I'm sure no one wants to lose their dog because the dog wasn't wherein a leash .Lastly it is safer for your dog and the ones around it. For example if your dog is aggressive and its not on a leash it could bite someone and you could get sewed and your dog put to sleep .And that is why I think dogs should be required to be on a leash when walking.And plus its the lawBy,Hayley Smith®

How do you get your dog to stay on the porch without a leash?
First, take the dog out on a leash and let him sniff around the porch. Keep doing that daily until he gets used to it, and you can pretty much let go of the leash. Then take the leash off completely. Your dog should know the command "no", so if he tries to get off the porch, you can simply say no. If this doesn't work, take him to obedience classes.
