Laughing ...yeah.
I suspect what you've done is what another friend of mine used to do. Used the treat to GRAB her dog....because he wouldn't come to her...so the dog was leary when he approached her.
Start where you know she can not run off...do not extend the treat out to her. Let her see it...but don't hold it out. Essentially have her eat it from your hand and don't "grab" her. You don't want her to associate coming to you...means being grabbed. If she doesn't come...no treat.
It sounds harder and more complicated than it is. Really.
