You know honestly, I thought that too, that maybe she was cold. Of course- I would say that there is clearly a deeper problem because that aggressive behavior is not a healthy response and that the first thing to do would be a vet check to rule out or identify a potential health issue. Once that has been cleared or established would be a great time to move forward with some new training protocol.
I'm glad your girl is so loving
they really are a special and interesting breed of dog and sometimes take a different approach then may be typical. I'm happy that you care about her and are concerned and seeking advice- what a lucky dog! I think Ann, Wylie's mom was pointing you in a good direction with the behavior concern but definitely don't skip the vet check- these guys can have bad teeth even at an early age or knee problems and making sure she is safe, healthy and comfortable before anything else will be the best platform to work from with your training efforts.
