This sounds totally understandable to me! Yana needs a chance. Hubby may be a bit ticked off, as she refused to respond to him, but.. wasn't she overstimulated by running, chattering kids? Has she been proofed and trained on and offlead both around exactly these types of high-intensity distractions? If not, that is your answer... as great as it is to gently work along with a fearful dog, they need exposure to kids, parks, even crowds, too-- in time. Maybe this was a new situation for Yana? What I am trying to say is, it sounds like she was never trained/proofed around such activity, never had a solid recall under these conditions, and initially approached because the activity stimulated her sense of curiosity, wonder, and maybe prey drive too.. and then when she got there, felt hyper-stimulated by the crazy activity, the new situation, and hubby's frantic demands were not something she was used to responding to in a busy, active situation like this. (and, has hubby himself work with her on recalls in situations with high activity? If not, he can better understand why she did not come for him)
Has Yana been a bit sheltered with her fears? If not or if so, still, time to work with her in increasingly busy, active situations-- on lead. Then progress to using a longline/draglead, in a safe area. Then-- off-lead would come last, once she is reliable under active situations both on-lead and with the draglead on her.
Try not to panic. She was loose, excited, thrilled, horrified, stimulated. You probably can really do more training with her in such stimulating situations, working on focus and recall. This is do-able! She is young, and you have time-- and you can make a plan for working with her.
Find a supportive trainer who understand fearful dogs, and does not overwhelm her or use harsh methods with her-- but who will gradually help you to work her in increasingly busy situations, demanding more of her with time, proofing until she is solid.
