Haha .... don't take it to heart
You answered your own question without realizing
You stated that you are the sole provider for her needs .... you feed her.(Loves That) Bath her (Probably Hates that) Groom her (Probably hates that too)
Dogs don't think to themselves .... hey this lady does EVERYTHING for me
They think Uh Oh there are those hands again that sometimes get me into trouble
Some dogs are more naturally skiddish
One of mine runs from me everytime as well ... unless I say You wanna Treat?
Then he comes with bells on
You need for your dog to make the connection where everytime you pick her up she gets something good out of it
So treats help ... Hugs and kisses? Mebbe but tailor it to what your dog likes and be aware that if you are doing something that your dog doesn't like soften the blow with some nice chicken or some squeaky toy time first
What also helps is when you call her especially if she is a pup still crouch down to call her and don't stretch out your hands ...... little dogs sometimes get frightened of this big person hunching over with these big hands trying to grab them
