How to curb my dog from bolting when walking?

My dog is a herding dog but she bolts when I walk with her and then takes a nice 2 hour run around the neighborhood. Otherwise she is perfectly trained. She has had 50 weeks of training I have tried all sorts of training collars, harnesses and the like When I first got her I could controll her better but 10 yeaars have put some age on me. We are very bonded. Please tell me if this habit can be curbed.
