Dog sits too far away

My four month old sheltie is great. Me, not so great as a trainer. We have been taking classes and she knows how to sit, but she sits at at least 2 feet away from me. She doesn’t respond well to luring with food, she either gets so excited with a great treat that she starts jumping, or she just won’t move toward me. She is very affectionate, but she much prefers me to sit on the ground and then she sits on my lap. Can someone give me a technique to get her to come closer to me so that eventually I can teach her to stand by me when asked. I’m careful to only give positive feedback to her.
