Reading your post again, it really sounds like she is exerting her dominance. It sounds like she believes it's her job to guard you.
To expand on the Sit/Stay suggestion, try implementing 'Nothing In Life Is Free'. You can google this training method. It's very simple. Before you give her anything she wants - her leash taken off, a walk outside, FOOD, affection - have her perform a command. Sit is fine. This puts YOU in charge of the resources in her mind.
Also, you might want to try teaching her more commands, it's fun, it bonds you, and it helps her practice listening to you.
