Sorry to hear this. I have copied a couple of articles that might offer you the help you need. I'll have my fingers crossed for you that it works.

Tip No.8 Obey
Your dog should obey any command that you give him
within two or three seconds, if he does not obey you then
he is either ignoring you, which means that your position as
alpha dog is under threat, or he does not understand what
the command means and requires further training.
If he responds to your command in some situations and not
others then it is likely that he is plain ignoring you when he
does not respond. To prevent this from happening use the
"Alarm-No-Command" method. This method has three
steps that you take when your dog does not respond as you
wish.
1. Use something to alarm your dog, such as a squirt from a water pistol or
shaking a pebble filled can. Make sure that you do this while he is in the
act of misbehaving or ignoring you.
2. At the same time say a loud "No!" or "Bad" or utter a sharp growling sound
like "Aaahhh". Use a stern voice so that the dog recognizes the difference
in tone from your normal voice. It is important that the voice correction is
sincere and that the delivery is consistent so that the dog associates the
harsh word or words with stopping the behavior.
3. Then redirect your dog with the command.
Remember from SitStayFetch that when you issue a command it is helpful to be
in a position to make sure that your dog physically does what you ask.
