14. Awwwww!

Once she gets it into her head that you aren't a brute you'll have the most loyal, loving dog possible. Just give her time. A firm tone doesn't have to be aggressive at all, she'll learn from your voice when she needs to obey. Maybe if you practice getting her to sit, stay & fetch (using bribery with treats) and keep her focused on you not the food, rewarding her when she does what you want. That'll give her more confidence in you and she'll associate doing stuff that you want with something positive. Soon you won't need the treats - just praise or a kind word.
