What would you pay?

This is my opinion of course, you/her may think differently. If I were you, I wouldn't charge her a dime - more so I'd take it as a learning experience. People have asked me to train their dogs and when they've offered payment I've refused. Simply because I am not a professional. I've just enjoyed the fact that I've been able to work with another dog.

Thats about how I personally feel too, I also have turned down money because of the fact that I was not a professional and used it as a learning experience. There was one friend/cliet that wouldn't take no for an aswer & I had a few years under my belt & needed cash so I accepted $5/hour (this was in the 1990's though too).
Thats just me though.

I would say if you want to charge or she won't take no for an answer, since you are still learning and because you feel a little uncomfortable with that $5/hour would be ok.

Would you like to train dogs for a living in the future?

If so, then I would train them free of charge, and use it as a learning experience/reference.

I did the same thing too.
