Dog “Learned” Resource Guarding

I have a 7yo poodle/chihuahua mix. Ive done all her training myself since she was a puppy. I have an older brother who constantly “eggs” her on by acting like he was going to take away her toy— the best I can describe is the Jim Carrey The Grinch movie scene where he’s growling in the camera.

Anyways, ever since I went to college two years ago, he has been home— constantly doing that, and now she growls aggressively whenever I try to take away her toy. She knows the “drop it” command, but she doesn’t listen to it anymore. Is there any fixing this issue? I’m this close to just taking her to college with me to prevent any more deterioration, especially because today she tried to bite me while playing fetch 🙁
