As a rescue you don’t know what she has been through. Absolutely DO NOT flip her on her back that is not good. Training collars are terrible for small breed dogs. Harnesses are the only thing that such be used when walking them. Have you tried an actual trainer? That is what you should do. Negative train is only going to breed more aggression you need to work with someone to teach you ways to use positive training.
