It sounds like you may be talking about fear aggression. That is a little different than straight aggression. But...it can be hard to determine what is going on via posts.
I think what you might get more benefit from is a behaviorist. Have you asked your vet for a referral? If not, do that. Your vet will have a better chance of knowing someone local that you could work with in person.
Training is helpful and can be a great way to build confidence and provide structure....I have nothing against training. The difference is that a behaviorist will take a broader look at what is going on with your pup and your relationship with her.
With all due respect, a good trainer will also explore the behavior. It is critical to understanding the reason(s) for the aggression and then correcting it.
