I'd begin by training her to do small things and then really praise her and instantly treat her - allowing her to learn that working with you forms a fast bond as you two work together to achieve something that teaches her to feel good about herself for doing something you've taught her. Dogs get so excited when they learn they can connect to us through simple working at obedience training. If you amp her up for training and keep the sessions short, fun and really rewarding for her, she'll adore working with you and likely will soon always be touching you or lying on you, wanting to be always near her soulmate. Use warm, boiled chicken for her treats and a high, squeaky voice when you first start out and she'll delight in her training.
