Han Solo said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior:

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I can do to
convince her
that she's safer at home, and not wandering the neighborhood.

From what you've described, she's not really "home". Home is
where all of the smells associated with her pack are. You're in
Arizona - wouldn't she be more comfortable inside during the
day

She and her two housemates, a mutt and a miniature poodle, have a
dog door
and are able to move freely between inside and the back yard whenever
they want.
My Husky clearly knows where home is and enjoys being there, because
when she
jumps the fence and takes off she shows up on the porch a half an hour
later once
she's through exploring and wants some water and a nap. I encourage
this behavior
by showering her with praise when she returns, and that seems to be
working at
least. Huskies are inherently escape artists, I read -- perhaps there's
nothing
short of physical barriers that will work to contain her.
