Thank you all for your concern and your advice. I think she is smart and will change. Already she's settling down and, surprisingly, not resisting the leash at all. She's learning to walk on the leash very nicely. You all seem pretty certain that her's is a fear aggression. She can be the sweetest, most affectionate little thing. Her barking during the day has really settled down too - probably because she can't stand by the patio door and bark at everything she sees.
She and I are working on this all the time. If anything, our bond is growing!
I will keep you informed on her progress...
