Depending on the situation, there are a few things you could do.

If your dog gets out of the fence, for example, and is gone for a few hours, you shouldn't do anything aside from reinforce your fence or keep them in a kennel when unattended. Do NOT scold your dog for coming back. They won't understand what they're being scolded for and you want them to associate you with good things.

If your dog takes off and then comes back after a few minutes (at the park, etc), keep a few treats in your pocket, call to them (be upbeat!) and when they come back, reward them.

Dogs have a very short attention span for the most part, and if you can't correct something within about 1 minute of the act happening, they won't understand what they did wrong.

It's up to you, the owner, to make sure that your dog can't get out when unattended. And as for training when you are watching - try a long leash (like a lunge line for horses), take them out in a secure area and let them run. Call them back in an upbeat manner (you do not want their name to be taken as a disciplinary technique), and reward them when they come - Repeat, repeat, repeat!

Does the phrase 'to scold another' mean to correct a person?

Yes. To scold means to speak or direct away from wrong-doing. Examples: Sally hated having to scold children on the school bus, but as a bus driver she had the responsibility for the children's welfare and safety. The teenager's mother warned her 14-year old that he was not his place to scold his 6-year-old sister. Teachers have the responsibility to scold and then to guide students. To scold without giving guidance toward proper behavior does little to change the child's actions and offers little in the way of learning what is proper behaviors. "To scold" typically refers to a situation involving the correction of child. However, in close relationships between adults, sometimes one will scold the other. When adults feel that another adult has attempted to scold them, most adults react in irritation and anger about "being treated like a child".

What are some dog barking training tips?

If a dog gets anything good out of barking, they will continue to bark. They will consider barking to be a tool to get a reward. Taking away that reward would cause the dog to initially stop barking. Another reason could be that they have too much energy and use barking to let loose. Tiring a dog down would cause them to calm down. Of course, a dog can be trained to stay quiet. Scold them if when they bark by yelling at them, taking away their toys, and so on. Remember to only do this right after, because if you do it too late or too long they will not understand what the punishment is for and they will feel abused.
