I think you got some great advice. My Bulldog is not people aggressive but when she gets worked up over new people or something outside our fence (chickens, other dogs, animals) she turns to attacking one of our other dogs. It is definitely a triggered response which is what seems to be happening in your scenario. In the mean time while you are working with both dogs, put a huge note on your front door that says please knock/ring bell and wait to be let in. This will keep your visitors protected until you can put one or both dogs up in their kennels or outside. The risk to too great to let anyone get hurt, especially a child. Then address the barking and other behaviors separately. How about one of those things that emit a pitch when they bark?
I'm enlisting the help of some trainers with my dog. In the mean-time I'm taking the preventative approach, keeping them separate or removing her if I see her getting too excited. If I let my chickens out she must be crated or in the house, etc. My dog like yours is also well trained, but when she gets like that nothing stops her. Good luck!
