Tie her with her head held high in an enclosed area. Not where she needs to be on tiptoe lol but held up. Brush her, scratch where she likes it. Then untie and walk her to a feedpan that has a treat, or her normal meal.
This teaches her to walk for her reward.
We will tie one in her pen, then walk her to other side of the pen- so just a few feet. When they are good with that, we will untie and walk to next pen.
Always stay in small area, so she never thinks she got control. You must be willing to pop them on the nose if they try to run or pull ahead of you. You can still be their best buddy, but you are the boss. That is respect. The normal pecking order. You must be top of pecking order.
