Wow , sounds like your baby is just as sweet as my Louie, but with the one little problem. He did exactly what you are explaining when he was a little younger. He is 1 yr. 2 months now. He sleeps with me and is always on my lap. It used to be that if someone came near me he would snarl like he is going to bite them. He was also very protective of his "busy bone", and once snapped at my neice when she tried you pet him and he was all into his bone, but did not really bite her. I just used a really stern voice and was very consistent whenever he did this, and he has seemed to calm down with this now. They really are such sweet dogs. They are just so protective over us because they love us so much. So I guess my advice would be just to be stern with your voice and be consistent with that . Tell her "NO" or "STOP"! You could also use a spray bottle with water in it and give her a little squirt whenever this happens. Louie used to bark a lot when new people came to the house ...now I just hold the water bottle up and he stops! hahaha too cute. Anyways good luck with your little one!
