By that I mean on lead walking, it may be she needs longer walks to tire her out, especially before you let her off lead. I presume her recall is good at home, try to find a larger enclosed area free from distraction, take her on a long walk first till she is calm and fully exercised then use reward based training to practice distance recall.
