The alpha lessons should help but in the meantime, do not allow her on the
bed and perhaps any other furniture.  This small thing may make a big
difference.  I don't think every pyr shouldn't be allowed on the bed as I
allow it on occasions but if it presents a problem, don't allow the dog to
be in that position.

Good luck,
