She needs to be taught that snapping and biting are not acceptable behavior. If she looks to you as her boss, you're going to have to make that rule, make a consitent punishment for this behavior, and stick with it.
If she doesn't learn, she may have to be put down.
Good luck.

I know this is a cliche, but...watch the Dog Whisperer. There was an episode about a dog just like that, and he was able to help the owner retrain the dog not to snap. I can't really do it justice because I am not an expert, but if you watch the show you will definitely learn how to retrain your dog. I think it was a chihuahua, if that helps you find the episode.

You have a potentially serious problem on your hands. It sounds like your dog was not properly socialized when she was young and now you will need to enlist the services of a certified animal behaviorist (or a veternary behaviorist) to help you before she bites someone and they file a lawsuit against you. Get help for her fast! Dogs like this are dangerous even if they are small. Do not use physical punishment on her, it will make things worse.
