I have a 10 year old purebred Pomeranian. I have had her since she was 7 weeks old. She is the alpha in the house for sure. I have 2 other dogs, a 13 year old Pom male and a new female puppy that is a Sheltie cross. My problem is that she never shuts up. She will not let me talk on the phone or if the other dogs are playing she barks at them to stop.
She is very aggressive and fights really mean. I'm afraid she will hurt my new pup. She has always been this way so it's not the puppy. It's just really driving me insane. I have sprayed her; that didn't help. I have smacked her behind with paper, but she could care less. Please help!

Spraying and smacking with newspaper are aggressive moves and you will get more aggression back.
Your dog simply needs training. Not just "no bark" training but all training. The basic problem is that your dog is like a bored child with time to spare but no real rules or responsibilities.
A dog training course is probably best. You want your dog to: come, sit, heel, lie down, and stay.
Sit quietly and wait to be fed.
Go in her crate when she's too aggressive or excited.
Start by calling Petco or Petsmart to find dog training classes in your area.
