I'm no expert but I have dealt with this problem before. While at home, put her on an extremely long lead line. Get you a lawn chair and sit. Let her run around. When you think she isn't paying attention to you, call her name. If she doesn't acknowledge you, give her just enough pressure on the lead to get it while you continue to say it. Once you have her attention call her to you. Do not go to her. If she doesn't come then continue calling her by name and command with some pressure on the lead. If she comes then praise her real good and let her go back to piddling. Just keep repeating that. If she doesn't come when you put the pressure on the lead, don't drag or real her in. Hold a steady pressure until she submits to it and then praise her verbally. She may not come all the way to you. It may only be a couple of steps, just keep doing that until she makes it up to you. Praise her real good and let her go about her playing. It will work, it just depends on her intelligence and willingness to cooperate as to how long it will take. I've also done the same thing but with a shock collar. Call them and when they didn't listen bump them with the collar but hold onto the lead line so that they don't have the option of choosing between running away or coming to you. You have to start out mild and only use as much stimulation as absolutely necessary. Once you know that they understand then do it without the lead line. This method is for the  knuckleheads that aren't skittish or the skittish ones that you have decided its make or break time lol. I also make the skittish types allow me to pet them while I call them to me at feeding time. This helps a lot in my opinion. I don't care for real skittish dogs but I can deal with a little. Those that are skittish or timid on top of extremely hardheaded (I'm gonna do what I want to do as soon as you walk off) are the ones I have a hard time tolerating. They are the hardest to line out because they can't take correction but still gonna do it as long as they think they can get away with it. Ohhhh no no no I can't do it.
