Try getting her on her side if you can't get her on her back. With one hand snug just under her jaw & other hand around her crotch just in front of her back legs. Hold her firmly without inflicting any pain. See if you can get that one to work. It was a struggle at first with my girl, but when I need to do it now she gives up right away. I hold her in that position until she stops struggling for at least 20 seconds, then slowly release. If someone else around, ask them to help you. In a puppy class we did the belly up position, which she caught on to right away. Good luck!
