I had the same problem with Gracie. She is still not the best, but she is getting better. In some way you must be reinforcing the behavior that you do not want. I stopped using the word "come" and just called her by name, "Gracie". I just followed her and kept calling "Gracie" until she stopped, typically that was when I had her cornered. Sometimes I had a treat to give her when she stopped for me. She still won't "come", but instead she will stop and wait for me to pick her up. Just make sure that every time you are trying to catch your little one that it is not for something unpleasant and you are not using that time to scold him. The other option is to keep him in a gated off area so he can't get away from you.
