You didn't give enough details for us to be of much help here..But, if a dog is suddenly aggressive, it if often a health issue..the first thing would be to have the dog's health checked to learn if pain or illness is the underlying cause..
If your dog is becoming aggressive to the family..a refresher course in basic obedience will usually do the job...as it puts the owner back in the driver's seat..and reminds the dog who is boss..
without better description of the problem, that is about all I can suggest..
You are welcome to email me
thankyou for adding details. she is just now maturing, and feeling, as most teenagers, that she is hot stuff..
Here is a good site that will help you in dealing with this problem> http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-dogrivalry.htm

How old is your dog? What Breed? Male or Female? And has he or she been neutered or spayed? How much play time does the dog get? Chances could be that it's in season... Or maybe doesn't get enough exercise and is bored... Need more information about your dog, before I could be sure. What changes have occured in your household?

You aren't supplying all that much information for me to go on but my first thought would have to be rabies. Some tings to look for (other than unnaturally aggressive behavior) are sensitivity to water, and foaming of the mouth. You should seek the help of a veterinarian if it exhibits these symptoms but it could be too late after these symptoms set in.
Hope this helps.

the dog could be aggressive because it now thinks it is the pack leader of your domicile. Try taking it on walks...good walks...and let the dog know that you are the boss...try watching the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic channel for more info...Cesar rehabilitates dogs and trains humans

Toward people or dogs? Any changes in your household?
I had a mixed-breed dog that became aggressive toward people every time my ex-wife was pregnant. She became very protective in a way that was unpleasant.

You need to add more detail. We cannot possibly answer your question without background, breed info, living arrangements, is this a new problem, etc.
Try asking again with more detail.

your dog may not get enough sleep in a day and its just cranky .if your dog has a dog bed put it right next to your bed it might make him/her sleep better.
