    I'm half asleep reading this, so hopefully I'm not messing it all up :-S

    She's not submissive so much. She's kinda in charge, which is the source of all her other behavioural problems. I'm interpreting what you said her behaviour would make sense, because she's dominant, so she decides who throws the damn ball or no one does...am I even close? I dunno. My brain is fuzzy.

    She also rounds up other dogs that are fighting :) Not successfully, but she puts in a good effort. Then gets blamed by the other dog owners for starting the fight :(

      It's not even 1am yet, you lightweight. :P

      Yeah, she's probably thinking that she only wants to fetch the ball for someone she could at any time consider dominant. So she only wants that person to throw the ball. How they respond to her is probably judged by her. If they don't react to the chance to be dominant she could feel she has to assert her own personality and push them into it.
