Fear Aggression??? Or Authority Issues???

Okay, here's the deal. We are currently looking for another housemate. I have looked at several over that past couple of weeks. Yesterday I found a 14 month old unspayed female. Her name is Lexus.

She is extremely active as most rotts are. Very well mannered in the house. Crate trained. Gentle with food. Listens pretty good to basic commands (sit and come).

My concerns are when it comes to correcting her and play time. She becomes very aggressive when you make her get off of the couch, try to get her to shake, sometimes when putting the leash on her, and if she is playing with a big ball. I know that her previous owner used to kick the ball away from her while they were playing, but...

She is the 6th Rott I have owned, and I have never had one act quite the way she does. I have gotten them from various ages and back grounds as well (12 weeks thru 6 years).

I have a physical scheduled for this afternoon with my vet and depending on how that goes, I will then schedule on with the trainer. However, if it doesn't go very well at the vet, I will have to reluctantly take her back to the lady I got her from. I have two children (8 & 11) at home and I can't risk one of them getting bit???

Do any of you have any suggestions on methods I could try with her???
