Hook a leash to her harness then during training at first. Once you have established you are her leader and she respects you, she won't run away even if she doesn't like what is happening during the exercise of discipline. Tibbe used to try to escape any unpleasantness but the leash kept him in place & once true behavior modification starts to kick in, they learn not to fear but respect & love you. They won't slink off or run when your relationship is correctly established. They trust you are never going to hurt or scare them but are establishing your leadership, not domination. They accept that as dogs are used to having a pack type leader. They do better when they aren't the one in charge in a human-canine relationship. Every dog I have trained eventually learned to accept discipline because no fear went with it - only learning & respect & love when all was said & done. Lots of lovin' & praise for working with me when we were done.
