My pup is like that, but is s l o w l y getting better. She loves to play with a ball, so when taking her on a walk in the woods and off her leash, I have my backpack full of them to throw when she gets that urge. It doesn't help that the hound in her will lead her off in directions unknown as her where he nose goes she will follow, but it has helped a lot as she has the attention span of a gnat at times
