In our obedience class were told to train them to come using treats. Do this in a training session, placing her several feet away, call her and show her the treat. When she gets to you give her the treat and tell her "good girl". Repeat this several times in a training session. It might take her a few sessions to get it, but she will.

After she will consistently come, you can hold off on the treats. And, give them only occasionally when she comes to you in the future. This way she is never certain if she will get the treat or not, but she'll come just in case she is.

Also - always make coming to you a pleasant happy experience. If she hesitates to come, don't scold her. You don't want coming to you to be associated with anything negative.

Hope this helps.
