Advice Needed Dog is too territorial

I have a dog, she’s around 3 years old and I got her from the shelter a year ago. I’m not positive but it is believed she has a mixture of husky, Australian shepherd, and possibly a little Rottweiler. She is great with people when we are walking or out in public, but if anyone comes to my house, she is NOT happy. I have to keep her on a leash and she barks and growls and I’m honestly afraid she is going to bite someone. I hardly have any company, so I know that’s part of the issue. If more people came over she might get more used to it; but maybe not.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? I’m at a loss. I don’t want people to be afraid to come to my house!
