Have you tried asking her to step up and put your hand out ? going by the video you move far too quick at her, she is getting defensive because she doesn't know what you are trying to do.

uh... this video is made to make people mad!
if you ask a pet owner how they treat their pet they'll tell you they spoil them to death. (example: the people on this forum)
