The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat. Start at

If she sees you as top dog, then she doesn't have to take care of problems by biting people. They are your problem. Being top dog makes corrections you give her more effective. As soon as you see the first sign of aggression, give her a sharp ''Ut, ut, ut!'' and distract her with a toy.
