I agree... maybe she was abused by tall males ??? Will never know, but you can counter condition:
1. Get a friend to sit in your living room then bring in the dog. If she sniffs with no aggression, ask the friend to toss her 3 treats, one at a time.
2. Have him toss a treat and stand up. When she freaks, have him sit and toss her a treat when she calms down.
3. Then have him stand and toss a treat over her head, then another, then a third, and finally just hold one gently in his hand, while ignoring her, so she can approach with no attention... even when she takes the treat.
4. Continue ignoring her until she nuzzles his hand.
5. If she will never take a treat, under any circumstances, I have no suggestions....but I think you can train her that a sitting and standing person is both friendly...
