Back again with question with Dixie

Dogs that do this usually don't see you as a leader.  If there is no physical reason for her to be in pain, then what this dog really needs is for you to enroll in a positive reinforcement obedience class.  You can find one here:
www.clickertraining,com - scroll down on the left to find the trainer search.
The reason I advise clicker training for a dominant, or territorial dog is that you don't have to touch them, or physically force them for it to work.  The object is to have them understand your requests ("off"), and comply.  This is a dog that I would not allow on any furniture or beds - let her trail a leash so that you can gently tug her off (and reward her when she's on the floor), but you won't be near her mouth to risk a bite.  Also, please hand feed her for a week, and the next week, make her sit and wait until the food bowl is on the floor - lower the bowl, but pick it up every time she comes forward, and say "sit" "wait" - if she refuses, just pick up the bowl completely, go away, and come back 20 minutes later.  If she refuses, dinner time goes away till tomorrow!  (Dogs seldom starve themselves to death LOL) She will quickly get the picture that you mean business.

Thank you so much!!! Im looking into right now................I really had been thinking that was the issue but I really dont know enough to be positive.
Thanks again!!!

Oh and I guess I can fill you in on what we do with her already.  She does have to sit for her food and wait until I have the bowl down.  The other thing is she has to sit in front of the door while we put her on her leash to take her outside.  Once we are ready she can get up to go out.  Im not as diligent with that as I should be.  They (we are training both dogs all the time) seem to think sometimes as long as they put that bottom down for a few seconds that will work. lol
I have hand fed Dixie, because when we first got her she was food agressive.  I have not done it recently though since she is not bothered by us touching her food or playing in it while she is eating.  She will actually back off and wait for you to stop and then come back to her bowl.  I can give her food by hand and she is fine though.  We also make our dogs work for everything...be a meal, treat, go outside, get some lovin etc.  Nothing big.  Maybe just to sit, or Daisy can speak, they both know down.(laying on the floor) So we have them do a little something to earn anything.  But we have issues with Daisy as well as far as being stubborn.  We will let her outback in the evening and when its time to come in if she doesnt want to come in then she will run.  WE dont chase her but wait for a bit longer and then go try again.  Usually on that second time she comes in.  But we would both like her to be more obedient with that.  The problem is shes a beagle and we have something living back in the back......skunk, mice who knows and she loves to sit out there and try and get them so thats what makes her not want to come in at night.  She has improved but Id like to see more from her.  So anyhow...........thats what we are doing with Dixie.[]
Thanks again!!

If you want a good "come when called", get Leslie Nelson's DVD "Really Reliable Recall".  The secret is to not let the dog think that "come" is optional, and to begin training on lead, not off.  Every time you call her and she doesn't come, she's learning she doesn't have to.
You'll see what I mean when you watch the video.

Thank you so much!! Im checking that out right now as well.  I really appreciate your advice.
 

Well I found the DVD and its $29.99 so Im going to search around for it possible cheaper than that.  Thanks again!!
