Even a well trained lab competing in obedience attacked her. Maybe this is the case with the puggle.

I have to agree with Brit though on your method of training. I have had big dogs all my life and I can tell you aggression brings aggression. Alpha rolls are good examples of this.

That said it does sound like she bit you in the heat of the moment. Larger dogs mature slower, so she is still quite young and still needs lots of training. Hopefully this was just an isolated event and with more training this won't happen again.
Poor Peppi That is very interesting that dogs want to attack her. I wonder how they sense her dominance.
