First I'd shelf the idea she is mad, second bark buster will do more damage.
third not sure where you are but look into a vet with behaviour and get her on drugs to settle her down.
Thrid depending on the aggression if you place her in a rescue they will put her down if it is human aggression at all as she will be thought of as not placable.
You need a vet to draw blood and test thyroid and make sure there is nothing going on medically. Do you have a clue of her family history at all.
You need a proper assesment on her and bark busters is breaking the law if they do an assemant as it can only be vets that asign aggression tags. once asigned they can treat but no vet will or should be recomending any trainer that does not souly work from gentle and postive as they can be fined by there assoication.
You put her in a rescue they will put her down if it is human based aggression at all.
not sure who old this girl is or what is going on and I need way more info. vidoe would be good.
Yes I pull no punches but there is a wee one in trouble and I can see this getting worse.

Oh I know she isn't mad, I was just kidding. Nobody has done any assessments on Mindy. However I do plan a vet visit this next week.
If you have the time just go through and read my posts about Mindy, everything about her is in this thread. We were told she was 2, but a vet said she was more like 4 or 5 because of her teeth and the fact she got pyometra. This was not MY vet so I don't trust the age guessing.
I do trust my regular vet and he will know with good certainty of her true age. I personally believe she is more like 3.
There is nothing really to video tape, except her growling when eating (at other dogs only) and her barking.
She has not bit anyone (men) coming into my home since about a month after we got her, so around end of January (she never drew blood). We did have a fight break out day before yesterday between her and my male. It was over a chew, but it wasn't a true "fight" and was easily broke up with me telling them "enough"!
The recent stuff that happened while in her new home, I never saw it, only heard about it. And I think if it did actually happen as she told me then I believe it was because she was thrown into a situation that was overwhelming to her (her fear of men).
I have taken her to the vet on a leash and had no problems with her going after the men there and she had several walk right past her.. However she might have been distracted by the dogs, which she was interested in meeting.
We don't have any parks near us, there is a lake/park about 10 miles away, I have thought of taking her there just to see how she reacts, but I am afraid of doing more damage. I could keep her from actually biting someone, not worried about that as much as I am about freaking her out.
And I am NOT going to place her in any rescues or shelters. She is staying right here. I will not re-home her again!
