I've trained my dog off leash by taking several group obedience classes. Then you can practice with her in a contained area, with distractions and with a trainer to supervise and give pointers. It's often difficult to train this without starting in a controlled situation. Working on come in your yard and house and walking beside you on a loose leash through the streets and past other dogs is where to start. Be patient this can take quite a while to get your dog reliable off leash, especially since she is still a puppy.
