I'm confused..

On one hand you say it's okay to let her roam around but..
on the other you want to train her only to stay out during the day
but not during the night.

You can't have it both ways.  You either restrict your dog or you
don't.  If you allow her to run loose, you've given her Carte Blanche
to do what she wishes.

You say your neighbors don't mind.  This statement brings the reward
system to mind.  If your dog does something and gets a reward for
it, (in this case the chance to run free and get affection from others)
she isn't going to stop unless there is a sufficient deterrent, a scare,
correction, other, to make her change her mind.  What I'm saying, there's
almost no way, once she's out to make her come back on her own accord
each night (unless you serve steak each night (^:)

To prevent her, you can build a big fence, use an anti-jump harness or
keep her inside.
