I just read the reply above my previous reply, which i thought was good also. Never get in a habit calling there name or whistling constant, if the dog is not coming. The puppy will associate this with nothing. If they don't come from a certain distance, get in close, even if it means a foot away. Then eventually increase the distance.

When they come constantly, thats when you can yell from across the yard.

If they are really stubborn, which our dog Tico was alittle. Put them on a long lease. If the don't come, give it a tug, until they start coming. I found this also worked for him.
