I've had my Sheltie since 8 weeks old .....is now 19 mo and has become very aggressive. We've done a few general dog classes but thinking of hiring a dog...

Other than the recommendations above (which I think are all helpful) you can try Bach Flower Remedies for fear. Aggression is usually fear-related. If it would be due to trauma's you can try the Rescue Remedy, which is already a mixture of several. Else try to see which kind of fear relates best to her and choose a few together with Star of Betlehem. Works very good on animals as they don't need to 'believe' in it... Other than that work on it in tiny little steps with lots of praise for every positive response. Wish you both the best of luck and love!
