You can also practice sitting with her while she is chewing ( have some high value treats like liver or whatever she really goes nuts over in your hand)take the chew away from her and replace it with the treat ,then give the chew back to her ,sit very close to her while she chews for awhile and then repeat the steps of removing the chew and replacing with the high value treat.She will associate your closeness and hand as not a threat . While your doing this exercise you can vary it by just sitting with her and holding the chew while she chews away on it .This will get her used to the idea that you are the boss and everything is yours until you decide she can have it.
Good luck
