How long have you had her? Sometimes you just need to be patient. If she went
outside
through a dog door before her outside area might have been quieter than yours,
or
different in some way.. If she wasn't didn't get along with larger bigger dogs
in her old
home, she may have been really traumatised by that. My dog (I live in a big
city- two doors
away from the local fire dept on a somewhat noisy/busy street. I got my dog in
the
summer and I had the windows open a lot b/c it was warm, he used to crawl under
the
furniture and shake, and he never left me alone, constantly following me around
the house
etc., and it went on that way for 3-4 months. These things take time. Why don't
know give
yourselves a reasonable amount of time (say 2 months or 3) and if she isn't
better then
you could think about giving her back...
