Just be careful not to tell her to come and then punish her by locking her up in her crate/ex-pen, or scolding her for soiling the carpet etc. Who wants to come if they know they are going to get a scolding? I have found that with Gracie, "come" when at home means a game of "catch me if you can". I had her at my office the other day and she wandered off to visit my boss. I called her and told her to come, and she came running! I of course had a treat waiting!
