It sounds like you are describing Napoleon when I first brought him home.
NILIF worked great with him. He was mad at the world and afraid of everybody and everything. Now...he loves everybody. He is still afraid of a lot of things, but he knows it doesn't have to be me or my family.
We all had to prove to him that we would not hit him or be mean to him in any way. It took a long time, but eventually he came around.
He still barks when he wants attention, but now it is only for a couple of minutes, instead of half an hour or longer.

You must have a lot of patience and love to give to a dog that has been treated badly. They must have boundries. Make your baby work for everything and she will learn to respect you. Give her lots of hugs and kisses and she will learn to love you. Play with her and take her on walks.
The energy will wind down in a year or so.

It is a long road, but you can do it. Be patient...
Good Luck!!
