it probably sounds like she is being reprimanded
make the giving a treat something that is fun
get down on the floor with her and with a happy high voice give her treats and talk to her
Pet her and tell her what a Good Girl she is .... this will transform the setting and do this a few times before you start the actual training sessions
then it will be something she will look forward to and her interaction with you will be much better


If we had a little more information it would be helpful in answering even better. If she is a puppy their attention span is very short.
