Well put Cardiguy, and I agree. As long as the dog perceives every human in the household as having a higher rank than they do, it doesn't matter which of the humans is highest ranking.
Maybe because (as you have said) you spoil her, she perceives you as her servant, instead of her leader? You can start making her work a little for things, with the ever popular, and often referenced, "Nothing in Life is Free" program. Do a search, and you will see lots of threads about it.
