Thanks all for the advice, couldn't get on sooner as the PC crashed!!! I too am a bit confused as I thought this is a problem that should be dealt with and controlled from the start. I will take heed of Carrie's advice, as she has been ok over the last few days, and leave her alone when she has her treat. Having a rescue dog has just made me extra aware of her behaviour so as Carrie put it I will be 'cutting her some slack' although if the problem gets worse I may have to re think this.
