Stacy - Montana is like most Corgis. They will respond in 'clinical' situations perfectly - so that there should be little problem in her successfully doing agility - and in other situations - such as from home-base - they will do, for a long period of time (way past her age of 13 months) what they think they must do no matter what. Thus her efforts to escape to the streets and not even blink an eye when called back. What might help is to create invisable barriers ie 'lines' of a boundary she is not allowed to go past eg an open front door. Lengthy periods of staying on command help in this regard with rewards (praise and treats) at a successful conclusion.
My Taylor is now a four year old and up until a week ago he still has it in his mind every so often to escape from the rear of my property to the front. Whenever he doesn't really want to be in the very nice rear of my property with its big lawn, trees, gardens, seats and stream, he will go upstream and into basically two neighbours proerties, onto the public pavement to get back home in the front of the house where he waits by the front door under shelter to be readmitted inside. However, some stern words and rattling his neck a little, may or may not have finally cured him of doing that - I think not.
