She knows the "drop it" command. In fact, she knows about every command I can think of. But when she gets into these modes, all commands go out the window. Normally, she is a very obedient, responsive girl.

Also, I taught her from very early on not to worry if things are taken away. We can move her food, toys, bones, anything and she will not worry about it. Unless she goes into this aggressive mode.

I like the submissive position idea. When I have been upset with her before, we've engaged in a staring contest that has settled her down. She will eventually cast her eyes downward, tilting her head down and looking away. Then I know she's figured it out. We will try this position next time it comes up
