My German Shepherd bitch is now 4 years old. She was the most calm, loving friendly dog to (people and dogs) up until she had pups a year ago. She no longer has the pups and lives with my Staff who is friendly and they do get along.
However my Shepherd is now aggressive to all other dogs! Except when she visits her pups. She screams when we walk her on the lead or on car journeys? And she is aggressive to every other dog at the park. We haven't changed our behaviour or training so why has she changed? Any advice on how to tackle this? As I feel like we have tried everything!

I would consult the vet. There could be a hormonal reason why she is behaving aggressively and the vet could treat it
Any changes in behavior, especially something so extreme, should be checked out by a vet.
If she gets a clean bill of health, you may want to talk to the vet to find a good dog whisperer (trainer) who can give her a brief refresher in good citizenship. We had to do this once when we introduced a new dog to the house and our old gal regressed.
Wishing you all the best! Prayers for your fur baby!
This does sound hormonal to me. If she hasnt been spayed it may be time to consider that.
Just like women and pregnancy, behaviors can change (hormones). I would recommend going to the vet and getting her examined.
