One more note -- yelling feeds the negative energy and will likely crank up Pixie more. Give a command like "settle down" in a controlled voice. When the human is in control, the dog is more likely to be in control.
Another thing that helps, if you aren't already doing this, have your daughter help train Pixie to do tricks like sit, down, stay, shake hands. When my boys get rambunctious with each other, I break it up with a command and then we do tricks for treats -- a kibble for each trick performed.
This helps build a positive bond for good behavior too. Good luck!
