You could try putting a catch lead on her. I used one for my sibe who wanted to play a game of hide and seek/chase when it was time to hook her back up at her house. The leash gave me something to grab so I could call her, grab the leash, and reel her in. Then I would praise her when she got to me.

Another thing, instead of just catching her to bring her inside, you might want to try catching her at random times to pet her and give her treats, then let her go and go back inside. That way, whenever she sees you, it's not going to be like "Oh moms out here again--must be time to go inside! Run away!"

+1 for you Piper, that's good advice about catching her at random times so she doesn't always think it's time go inside.

Thanks Piper, I will probably try that when I can finally walk without crutches again. Thats my biggest problem right now, I can't chase her around the yard and then drag her in. Ever since that one time this morning though, she's been really good the rest of the day. Lulu, however, has apparently forgotten every command she's ever been given...

Do you have a long tie out cable you could clip to your steps? You could use it just like the leash and use it to reel her in if needed. You wouldn't need to chase her around because it would be clipped to the steps or some other immovable object. I know that having her on a cable kind of defeats the purpose of a fenced in yard, but it would help until your healed and ready to chase after her!
