Digi has turned aggressive.. advice?

Good to hear you're feeling fine. I would absolutely not tolerate this from any of my dogs. She's not saying she loves you, she's saying you belong to her. I would definately not tie her to the bed close to you when she's acting like this. She'd be in the crate when I'm sleeping. When she stares down cash or growls or lunges, its a quick eh-eh sound and either a command to the kennel or a send away command. Something that will absolutely give her the message that you will not tolerate this. There is no reward for her and no apology on your part during this time. You may feel bad because you yelled at her but she isn't getting hurt. She's going to try and tell you she's getting hurt so you stop correcting the behavior she wants to do.

And correcting her in this situation will not make her useless when a stranger comes to rob you. Its much harder to fix a problem the second time around when you tolerated it so well the first time.

You need to start doing some serious NILIF and have everyone in the house participate.
And you can cut it with the she's sensitive and slow..she acts that way because you have allowed her to and that's how you have raised her.

Why do your responses need to be so snippy? I don't understand.

Thank you, I've been telling her NO & sending her to the big bed.

She has calmed right down. Today she didn't care that Cash was near me.

THats not what I meant.. I meant I have always thought of her as useless when it came to a guard dog. THe joke has always been, that she'll great the robber & show him where all the good are hehehe Shes just so friendly of a dog that its 100% shocking when she showed some agression
