When Will My Pit Bull Calm Down?

I have a 11 month old pitbull. I bought her when she was to Young to leave her mother and sibling’s. I did not know until it was already to late that pitbulls should not leave there mothers and sibling’s until they are older. I got my girl between 6-8 weeks. After I found out about this I did everything I could , I watched videos I learned as much as I could about this. Well here we are at 11 months and my girl is off the hook crazy. We are faced with a delima. She’s getting aggressive towards my boyfriend and I. If we don’t play with her when she wants us to she lunges at us ,jumps on us ,growls and now she’s starting to bite at us. She is a very loving dog and very smart. I don’t want to give up on her i love her as if she’s my child. My vet put her 9n trazadone but 8t can make her really moody which defeats I the purpose. Sometime I breakdown and spank her and she snaps out if her aggressive attitude but that doesn’t help at all anymore she actually seems to get worse when I raise my voice . It’s like she’s challenging me. She thinks she’s the alpha here. I need some help desperately. I have to walk away from her a lot and go cry out of frustration. She also has a couple more issues. She loves people so much that she won’t leave ppl alone when they come over. I mean it’s bad. She won’t stay off of them and she will get the shakes if u don’t let her get next to whoever it may be. She does these spin like a alligator in the water. It’s to much for my friends and family. And last but lease she jumping our fence now to get to us when she wants to. I putting a whole new fence up right now. Do u hve any suggestions for me. I don’t want to walk away from my girl. I want to hire a good trainer to help me with her. I need to know how to teach her she’s not the boss around here and I need to know how to keep her off of us. We can’t clean the house or work in the yard because she’s constantly doing this to us. I feel bad cause when we got her we were both going to take turns walking her everyday but we both have a bad leg now but we have a yard she runs in all the time. We play fetch or just spend quality time with her . We are home 24/7. So she’s never alone. If we want to go any where we either take her along or she gets a babysitter here at the house. Plz help me . I want to be a responsible pitbull owner. Srry so long . Thanks for reading.
