Chicken usually works! In essence, you have to make coming to you when called the best, most exciting, most rewarding thing available. Some ideas - call her to you, give her a huge welcome and something really good by way of a treat, then send her off to play again. When you finally bring her into the house, make sure there is a really good reward, and perhaps a quick game inside. Time spent making coming in fun, instead of the end of fun, will pay off when you need her to come quickly because ypu are in a hurry and it is pouring with rain!

I am not sure where you are located at but is it possible she is getting too hot inside if you have the heat on? I know my standard, Porter, would rather play outside in the winter than the summer.
