I have two dogs. When ever I take them outside they are fine but as soon as I try to bring the one dog in she immediatly looks for the other dog and tries to go after her, while i try to pull her in on her leash she growls and pulls against me. If I try to bring her in by her collar she still fights and tries to get the other dog. But as soon as we get inside she stops. She also only does it for me, she is fine with everyone else in my family when they take her out. Why does she do this? How can I get her to stop?

Dominance and jealousy.

The agressive dog is jealous and doesnt want the other dog to get any attention or to be in the house with you. When they go to come in tries to assert its sominance over the other dog by bullying it and preventing it from coming into the house. The fact that this only happens with you means probably two things (1) that it is more attached to you than other members of the family and is trying to keep you to its self (2) you may be the least assertive member of the family and not demonstrating as much authority/discipline toward the dog as others are.
I would suggest that you consider your realtionship with the dog in the house and its relationship with other people to see if there is possibly some jealousy and so and if so then maybe you should distance yourself a little from that dog and give a llittle more attention to the other particularly when the dominant dog is objecting as that will teach it that objecting will backfire and gain the other dog more attention. Get someone else to come with you when bringing the dogs back in and if it still happens then get them to do it on their own and see if they are behaving differently toward the dogs than you, if not work together ot establish a more dominant role for yourself. You bring in the dogs with them lurking nearby for support and they so no or whatever to make it clear they are unhappy and get the dogs more controlled but they let you physically take them in. It may take a whle but some of that authority will rub off on you.

She is doing this only to you becouse everyone else is the pack leader with her. You are not being the pack leader with her. You need to make sure that when you go outside, you always take the first step. Make sure that she is always beside you or behind you. When you see her perk up or get stiff, pull her leash a little. A little tug towards you. Make sure the energy coming off of you is a dominate energy. (you are the boss of her) (hold your head hight) It really does matter!!

go bye a muzzle and put it on, also you will need a choke chain , time to train her,she need to know who boss,and it not you ,time to change that , as for the other dog she jealous of it as you give it more attention , you need a long leash and call her in with out the other dog, insight , it seems to me as the dog is fighting you because it do not understand what it wants from you . so you need to teach it good manners .if it bites at you or growls,it time to correct this dog before it bite you , i cant give yo u a training session on line ,but this dog needs some training .asap ,may suggest you go look for a local trainer near you thanks

She likely feels that she needs to protect you outside. For some reason you have given her the feeling that she should take care of you. Maybe something happened outside where she felt you weren't in control and she needs to control the situation.
Be the alpha and don't let either dog ever think that you need protecting. You protect them.
Take them outside one at a time and tire them out, walking them playing etc.
Slowly for short periods try bringing them out together, once they are tired. Strong assertive leader and see how they react to one another.

You need to make her realize that you are higher ranking in the pack than her. Other people must have already established that. Be more stern, no mean, but stern with her.

You JUST posted this, why are you posting it again?????

EDIT- To me it sounds like one wants to be the domanent female and dosn't want the other one around. She feals that the house is her territory and dosn't mind if they are both out side. I suggest letting the the one who attacks the other in the house first. Feed it first, Make it feal domanent this may com her down and will withdraw the attacks.
