It's possible that before she was too young to realize there were new people around.

The advice that you were given before was correct. No talk! No touch! No eye contact! until she settles down. Ask your friends to totally ignore her until she behaves.

Also you might need to work on your skills as pack leader. You might think you are in charge, but your actions might be telling her something different.

Some questiolns
Does she sleep with you
Does she eat with you
Does she run through doors ahead of you
Do you feed her when she is jumping up and down.

I suggest you watch some Dog Whisperer episodes on The national Geographic channel or buy his DVD to learn how to be a calm assertive pack leader.

In doing so she will feel confident that you are in charge and will no longer feel the need to show submission to strangers.

I hope that helps
