Sounds like you need to get used to her! xD
Just start out by petting her gently on her rump(don't move your hand in from above cause it tends to freak them out which might startle you as well) and work up to holding her and whatnot.
What kind of dogs do you have? If they're of the small breed, or the ratting breed, you'll have to have a proffesional trainer come in and work with the dogs. Regardless of the breed, if they're barking at the rat it should be obvious to keep the dogs away from the rat(and not the other way around or you'll make the dog think the rat is in the wrong).
