Optional Recall?

My 7mo old spoo uses our doggy door and within the last month has been deciding when she wants to listen to come inside. She thinks it’s a game of chase. We have done training and she knows what the commands mean for come/touch/inside and used to do it. We are signed up to continue training next month but the training isn’t standard poodle specific. This is my first spoo and not used to a dog not wanting to make their owner happy type vibe, be wherever they are and instead decide if/when they want to listen to a command depending on the day lol. We are getting so frustrated with her bc it makes us late on the times we need to leave the house which is sad bc we’ve love to be better bonded. We are thinking we need to move to leash only outside time which I hate bc we have a beautiful backyard space. Any advice/tips?
