I am having the same issue... Baxter has some very selective hearing. I have a fensed in backyard so that's not the issue it's when I call him to be in an area where I can see him (within the house) he will only come when he feels like it... I probably should give him more praise for coming when he does so I may more to blame then he is.
What was helpful with baxter was having him on the his leash (which can go to 15 feet) then letting him go away from me that far then calling him and giving him a praise when he would come. Then my gf would pick him up and carry him away from me again and we would do it all over again.
Hope that helps.
