Layla used to have the same problem. i was very embarassed about her behaviour. A friend of mine is a dog behavioural trainer and she just suggested more expsoure to big dogs so we joined an obedience class where there was more "off leash" time. Some dogs have leash agression and feel nervous that they have no control. Layla hid under the chair a lot but i can now say she is 95% better. she still has a hard time when i am holding her... she can be agressive but she is just protecting HER mom. you should probably enroll her in something with a lot of dogs so she gets to see that she is fine. if that fails i would try finding a dog behaviouralist. you want to stop this reaction before it gets worse. Hang in there.. it's do-able
