Your Dad can also give her treats, when she is behaving. Do not tolerate barking, growling, nipping or biting in this or any situation.

She's trying to be Alpha dog. You need to be more Alpha than her. Make rules for her, and correct anything you don't want to see repeated.

Hope this helps ...
thanks for the advice. i will definitely try this. c:
