Dog Health Questions: Dog training/gaining back leadership Help?

Hello i am a proud owner of a female toy chihuahua who has a bit of a problem and has no knowledge of how to change it. My chihuahua is about 9 years old and i believe it is the ways she was trained and not trained. Before i start id like to say she is not a bad terrible dog, she is very attentive and listens and is house broken and knows tricks, but she has some anger issues and will sometimes rebel commands to i or some other of my family members Except my dad and mom.
Her are the things id like to learn how to control and gain the superiority back:
1) when going near her bed or food or near her while shes laying with my mom shell growl and glare her teeth and sometimes snap bite, i say no but she doesn't listen,its agreesion issues.
2)Shell bark at every new person to her that steps into the house or when the door knocks, im taking it she doesn't have any socializing experience with humans or dogs, our fault...

Is there still hope at her age to teach her how to be obedient and not aggressive? can we train her to stop barking and growling at every person who comes into our home?
or is all of it to late to even attempt train her? please help? any methods or advice, i would appreciate it thank you.

Recommended Answer:
On the contrary, every dog can be trained no matter what age. I seriously suggest finding the show It's Me or the Dog. Victoria Stilwell is the host and she's very smart and good with trouble dogs. A lot of the dogs bark at the door and she has a great method for training. :)
