She is trying to show dominance over her mom, just as human teens often do!
It is up to you to shwo her that mom is the number one (well, number two) .
Always feed mom first, give treats first, let out the door first, speak to her first, greet her first, and take the daughter down a notch or two.
Force her to stay back or put her in another room when giving mom attention. Only give her attention and praise when she stays in her place.
If you are consistant in showing that YOU are boss, and MOM is in second command, the daughter will learn her place and all will be happier.
