Do you belong to a club? I think more practice is in order....first w/o distractions and gradually add distarcions in or at least where you can correct the issues like practice shows with just club members. maybe 'mommie" should handle with you and gradully wean off, or the dog just doesn't see you as the dominate member of the pack (?) I think a club would be best as they may be able to point oyu in a better direction

You need to do some serious obedience training with your dog until she is 100% reliable off lead. THEN work on the agility. A cocker for agility?? They really are not a particularly good choice IMO.
