it sounds to me like you  need to make it fun, as you are not , so he finds fun else where,
 


i say to starting really playing with him, in your yard and also you are not dominate over him yet, thats why he does not listeren..
 

dogs wont leave his teritory if he fills his needs. also keep him leash till you can trust him. make it fun,fun ,fun.
 

my  dogs will never leave as they are happy here, but they know who the boss is too.
 

make it fun and be firm.....

I agree with the idea of being especially fun with your dog, so that he doesn't want to leave you.  If you are all about obedience, then you are kind of strict and boring.  I teach eighth graders, so I practice this concept in the class room too.

If your dog is ball or tug motivated, do lots of play, for play sake and for rewards for obedience.  Sneak the obedience in, but over do the play part untill he is really into being with you.

That is my 2 cents worth.

Is he neutered?

I am currently training a 10 month old pup for Competitive Obedience. The time we spend together on the training field is 70% play and 30 % training. On the 30% that he is actually "training" he does not realise he is learning anything. He thinks that it's just part of the game.

As well as treats to encourage new behaviours, once he starts to catch on I swap treats for the ball on a rope which I own but WE play with together. He only sees this toy when with me, it lives in my pocket and I share it with him when he does something well.
At 10months of age, I am the centre of his universe, his plaything, his provider. I can let him offlead in a field with loads of dogs running loose. His look says "Look!! There are dogs over there but can we play with my ball now?"

If you train this way then you get a better bond with your dog, get results faster, get a LOT less frustrated and your dog actually WANTS to be with you above anything or anyone else.

End Result? VERY obedient dog.
