I have a 1 year old female Chorkie and I take her to my friend's house to watch her when I am gone. She started liking it too much there because today when I went to pick her up she growled and tried to bite me, she didn't want to go with me. She apparently, likes my friend's better. What can I do to make her not be aggressive to me next time? I just started crying because she means the world to me and I was so hurt. Any ideas?

First of all, check her health with the vet. Perhaps she simply felt pain on being picked up.
If she is OK, then ask yourself what is the difference between the two environments. Is one livelier/quieter than the other? Are there children who might tease her? or alternatively play with her?
As she is so young, I wouldn't worry too much about this 'aggression'. She can learn better habits if she is properly understood, and treated accordingly.
This is unacceptable behavior. You may need to muzzle the dog for awhile. You also have to figure out the triggers that make her bite.
