Growling at little dogs Can't Post

Help! My 2 1/2 year old female lab cross has taken to growling at other little dogs - puppies and adult small dogs. This started a year ago when playing ball in the park she would be laying down catching her breath and a puppy would jump around her and mouth at her. She would tolerate it for a while and then give a snap which would usually send the puppy away.

Now when I walk her on leash, she lunges at and/or growls at small dogs. The strange thing is she is actually quite submissive most of the time - she still pees when she meets people! It's very out of character otherwise as she loves to play with other dogs. We had her through 2 rounds of puppy school from 4-8 months and she was around little dogs then and did very well. Any advice on how to cure her of this bad behaviour?

Thanks!

Could it be that your dog has not been mixing around with other dog for a long time already?

Or maybe it could be from the parents...
