try a long line, a toy he likes and a fenced in area.....put him on the line, let him wander out, call his name and when he looks at you say "Come" and start to SLOWLY run back getting him to come to you and the toy......when he's moving your direction stop moving yourself till he get to you and tell him how good he is and play w/ him.....make him think that you are the best place to be.....

you can also hold a treat and say come then say a praise word. This praise word will eventually be in place of the food. Works for us!
