Even my beagle mix Violet is never allowed outside of the fenced yard off leash, as she does the same thing....smells somethign and is gone.

I have taken that into consideration. We don't have a fenced in yard, but our animals are never allowed off leash in our yard either. We haven't had an incident with Sadie or any of the dogs we have ever slipping their lead and taking off.
Even if getting another inside dog doesn't work out, at least I know now that I can let Blackie and Rose in without fear of them killing our furniture. And it is another myth disproved.
