what has always worked for me is to start out with a leash, and yes, treats. it helps if they know sit and stay first. I would have them sit and stay, with the leash on (hold the other end). Walk to the other end and say "come" firmly... if they don't budge give a little tug and when they start to move toward you...LOTS of praise. and treat when they are near you. Do it over and over. Eventually i would do it off leash. you have to follow through though. When they don't come, you HAVE to go get them (off leash i mean)
Sorry about the missed caps...my laptop needs help...
Good luck!
