Nothing wrong with her :). Miss little one thinks she runs the home... and she may very well. It's one thing to be the Alpha dog with the other dogs, but not with the family.
( Believe me, I know how hard it is, hubby and I let our first be the Alpha - way too easy on him ).

You just have to let Miss think know who is in charge. YOU. As far as the other dogs, they will have to work that out, I don't think there is much that you can do there. Start with the family. Be firm, but loving. No, sternly, means No!

I know there are places that will train dogs if that is needed. But try to remind her
Who the boss is, she may then fall in line with the rest of the pack.

I know how hard it is. Be firm, loving and consistent.

I am sure others will come in here as well and give you wonderful advice.

Let us know how you do.

Best wishes!!

Is she spayed? If she is not and this behavior just started recently, she may have a false pregnancy... just another possibility to consider. Discuss the problem with your vet.
