Overly Protective Dog

I have had my dog for 4yrs now. I just recently found out what kind of breed she is which is very exciting. She is extremely intelligent and training her has been very successful. The one challenge I have is getting her to relax when other dogs come near me. She is very protective of me. When on walks and another dog is around she gets in between me and the other dog. Sometimes she is nippy if the dog doesn't get the message. Has anyone experienced this with their shepard or is this a behavioral thing? If so anyone experienced in correcting this?
