Have you tried putting a prong collar on her and correcting her?

Too many dogs - too little knowledge!

You need to find a trainer.

A prong collar, Jesus!!

Tingie is right, you have too many dogs to be able to teach just one dog anything.
Stop adopting dogs for a starter.

It is difficult to start training an adopted dog of this age, especially a GSD, without real knowledge and experience, and even then sometimes an adopted dog carries too much baggage to overcome.

The only solution would be to begin training the dog from scratch, day one, as if it were a puppy.
The first thing to do is bond and get the dogs attention, it must know it's name and come when called.
One of the many hurdles you face.

But you have so many complications due to all your other dogs.
These things take time and patience along with some measure of effort on your part.

A good and I say good trainer may be helpful but I feel it is a losing situation and feel sorrow for the dog.

I have three and I can tell you nothing is ever easy or simple around here.

Moons.

A prong collar? That's ridiculous. The dog doesn't know anything so it wouldn't really understand why the poor guy is getting yanked on. Two Moons said it right. Go back to ground zero and teach the dog. Don't just throw a prong collar on it and start doing the yank and crank. That wouldn't get the dog, nor you anywhere. It'd just be a bad deal for the dog, entirely. Make sure the dog knows what it is you want of her before you just throw a pong collar on it.

Putting a prong collar on the dog does not automatically equate to yanking and cranking; in all likelihood the dog will self-correct whenit runs out of leash.  I would be terribly interested in hearing how you would let a dog know that the behavior is inappropriate without some type of correction?

Maybe he should put a gentle leader on it and take it to PetSmart for some training...lmao!

All I'm saying is if he's got 5 dogs already and is here asking for what to do with that dog, throwing a prong collar on it isn't gonna do any good without atleast taking SOME time to introduce the thing to the dog. I personally think it'd be best if he started with some basic obedience first before just putting it on him. I'm not saying a gentle leader or anything of that nonsense, but get a decent bond and some obed before doing the prong collar. Atleast, that's how I would do it. 

I would work on creating a solid bond with the dog. Without all the others around. It's not impossible, but will be a ton of work on your part.
The dog is old enough to use prong collar. PROPERLY!
If you have no experience with one, you really need to find a good trainer. Best of luck to the both of you. Take Care

Using a prong on this dog would be a last resort and not what the collar was meant for in the first place.

It sounded to me like he was getting the dog out by herself and was trying to work with her but that once she fixated on barking at someone else or at another dog, he had no way to get her to stop that behavior and re-focus on him.  Unless and until he is able to build some rapport with the dog, he can scream and yell, "no," until he is blue in the face and the she will continue to flip him the paw.  I'm not suggesting that he abuse the dog but I've worked with enough shelter and rescue dogs to know that without any way to correct unwanted behavior so that he can teach more desirable behavior, he's sort of at an impass and isn't likely to make much progress.
