Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though Luna is showing some aggression when you try to assert dominance. I would recommend getting her leash on when she does this and make her perform some obedience commands for you such as sit, stay, down, etc. An obedience class would certainly help as well. She is trying to establish dominance over you. An obedience training class would certainly help. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
