Default Teaching "Come" to a stubborn girl

Riley is now 14 months old. She's been in the "catch-me" phase forever. She knows what "Come" means, but she runs off. Or she will come within a foot, put her paw out to shake (or test the water) and then dart off.

She's also picked up Penny's habit of streeeetttccching when she doesn't feel like coming when called. Both of them will look at us, walk a few steps, stretch leisurely, then eventually saunter over.

Any tips? I'm super-annoyed at the stretching thing, and I don't know how to break that habit.

And I've tried calling Riley over just randomly to practice and then rewarding her with a Yorkie Yummie, but it hasn't helped.
