Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We got Sammie when she was 8 weeks old from a family breeder, not a puppy mill. She's now 2 1/2 years old and weighs 50 lb. We have a dog door into our backyard & other dogs, so she wasn't crate trained. She learned in a day to use the bathroom out back & potty training has never been an issue.
She's a loving, beautiful dog but has behavior issues. Our family vet recommended a behavior vet for her who feels fear is her major problem & says sometimes dogs, like people are just born that way.
She barks excessively at people & dogs walking by, has difficulty focusing & has acts like a bully toward a small female dog we have. She gets along well with small male dogs and all large dogs. At the dog park, she'll bark & charge dogs only to turn & run when she gets close.
She's never attacked or bitten a person and is very protective of our granddaughter.
We hate to give her up but worry that something in our household exacerbates her problems and that she would benefit from a fresh start.
