First rule: Never, never, never call a dog to you and then tell him/her off. If you need to tell him/her off go to them. Remember that their understanding is that the telling off is directly related to the last thing they did (or if you are good, they are doing).
Practise your recall & really reward it when they get it right. Until you have a good recall your dog should not be off lead in a public area. You can give them running space by using an extenda lead.
And do join a training club please. You and your dog will have a much happier and enjoyable life together if trained.
BTW I am a trained trainer and breeder of GSDs and Golden Retrievers - dogs are my life.
I am not a dog trainer but I remember reading the following. Put dog on a long rope and let him run away. Then tell him "come " if he does not respond, rope him in saying come and when he has reached you, give him a treat. Do this several times every day until he understands what come means and comes without being roped in. After a while you can quit the treat and just pet him when he comes to you.

I have a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier and I have been having problems with her.
How do you stop a Jack Russell terrier from running wild when off the leash?
My dog always runs a way; how can I stop him?
