    teach your dog to come when called. Use a long line, call your dog if he does not come your correction will be to pop the dog into you and praise him. Read here https://tr.im/MXChN

    You could use a clicker. Call your dog when she comes click and treat.

    The treat has to be something your dog is nuts over. As the handler you have to be more interesting then what is across the street. Use your imagination, I have worked with dogs in the past when the owners called their dog they would turn and start walking the opposite direction then just sit down. The dog out of curiosity would come back to check on the owner. Do not chase your dog. Dogs tend to enjoy the chase game. You did not mention if your dog is bolting out of the door to get out or not. If this is the case teach your dog the wait command at the door. This means no you can not go this time. This is a problem that a lot of people have if their dogs. If you take a lot of time with your dog and are consistent with your training it will work. If your parents see that you are working hard to fix the problem and they see an improvement in your dog your chances will be better for keeping her. Also have you thought of doing 4-H with your dog?

    What breed is this dog.

    I am with a "rescue helpers unite" forum and they do put dogs for fostering on there and do have a list of fosterers.

    Email me the breed and I will see if I can see anyone that might be able to help on that site.

    Think you have to be with a rescue as I am to join it. We all organise homechecks, fosterers, transport all over the country.

    Perhaps a kennel? Not the ones that have stray dogs but the ones that have dogs for when a family goes on holiday.

    I am not sure - try googling it or ring up the Dogs Trust as they might be able to help.
