Go to the hardware store. Get 3 lengths of ¼ inch to 3/8 inch soft nylon line – 20 foot, 50 foot and 100 foot. Get 3 snaps. Tie the snaps on one end and make a loop handle on the other.
Start with the 20 foot line. Use a slip collar that is fitted so there is 3 fingers of space between the dog’s neck and the collar.
Hook the line on her collar. Hopefully she knows sit and wait. If not, teach it to her. If she does know sit and wait, put her in a sit, step back 2 or 3 steps and call her. If she doesn’t come, haul her in with the line.
When she comes over a distance of 5-6 feet, move back to 10-12 feet and call her.
Repeat this process until she is working on the 100 foot line.
NEVER TAKE HER OUTSIDE WITHOUT A LEASH (6 ft) OR ONE OF THE LONG LINES. NEVER TURN HER LOOSE OFF LEAD AND CALL HER UNTIL SHE COMES 100% OF THE TIME ON THE 100 FOOT LINE WITH ALL KINDS OF DISTRACTIONS, IE: OTHER DOGS, KIDS PLAYING, TOYS BEING THROWN IN HER PATH AS SHE COMES, ETC.
When you say “come” and she doesn’t, haul her backside into you using the line repeating “come”, “come”.
When she gets to you – willingly or unwillingly, praise and pet and make a big fuss and tell her that she is such a good girl.
Never ever ever call a dog to you to punish them.
Using treats is silly because one day you will start to forget the treats or not have them or something, and the next time you call her, she'll remember not getting the treat and figure "why bother?"
Clickers are just flat stupid - they are for people who are too dumb to figure out how to quickly say "GOOD DOG" in a happy, excited voice.
You always have your hands and your voice. Use them.

"Recall" is about the most difficult command for a dog to get. So it does take a little more work than other commands.
I use a "long lead" (20 foot rope) And when giving the recall command (I just use "Heel") real the dog into either the "front" position or the "heel" position (I do not use the front position and that is why I do not use "Come" or "Here" for a recall command)

U can put ur dog on a leash and call her to u and if she dont com than pull on the leash. when she comes give ur dog a treat, but sometimes just praise him so he dont think he gets treats everytime he is called. That should work. Good Luck!

its all about consistant training. everytime you call her and she comes to you have a treat ready to give. soon she will learn that when she comes she gets a reward. it will take time but it will work just make sure your consistant otherwise its like starting over.
