Here is what has been proven true for me, the main care-giver is almost always the person the dog will bond to the deepest. That includes training, walking, feeding, petting, bathing, etc.
Very few things build A bond better than training. Don't look at training as all about discipline, instead look at training as a fun thing to do with your dog. Sit stay come down stop leave it. Are all basic commands that every dog should know. You tube has great videos on trick training as well.
So if once in awhile others hold her, walk her and or feed her, it should not interfere with your relationship with her.
