I started working with logan on come because he's too friendly and takes off to meet new people. He's only 10 wks old so we're started slowly. We just use his food for treats (he's a pig so any extra food is dandy), we keep them in a ziplock bag. I started taking the bag out with him. I'll tell him to come and if he doesn't I shake the bag a little and he comes a running. I then make him sit, praise him, and give him a treat. He learns pretty quickly what behaviors will get him food.
Another idea is put him on a long leash. Make him stay, walk to the end of the leash, then say come. If he does not reel him over to you with the leash. This will teach him what behavior you expect when you say come and also won't allow him to run off in the other direction.
