Thanks. I have read up a bit on NILIF and have been trying to do more of that these past couple of weeks. I will read TOT also.

This is where it is important. "Trying" I don't think I quite understand other than it makes me think that there continues to be inconsistencies. Your dog wants something? Make her do something for you first. Each time . You need to have it so your dog actually believes in what you are doing. And if you're not consistent, that is not likely to happen. In fact, inconsistencies both do not work and also make the problem harder to resolve later on.

I have been making her sit/drop to enter/leave rooms, for food, for play, for treats etc. So by trying I mean I am doing my best as a novice to implemement what I have read but I'm sure i'm not perfect at it yet

Thats a good idea PF about calling her off and planning ahead a bit so we don't even have to risk the growling. Thanks.

Thanks JudyG for the reccomendation.

Thanks for the advice all. I understand specific issues need a specifically tailored approach. I appreciate the info you have all provided.
