It sounds to me that your new baby isn't properly socialized and is very 
shy.

In the Files section of the group's home page is a .txt file called Dealing 
With a Fearful.txt that I uploaded.  The techniques in that are perfect for 
working with an unsocialized, shy baby.

Give her a couple weeks to settle in, and then you might consider finding a 
good obedience trainer.  Obedience training can be wonderful for building 
self-confidence in a dog.  Be sure, however, that you find one who uses 
positive reinforcement *only*.  Until your baby understands that she can 
earn rewards and be happy with you, scoldings and discipline are only going 
to make her more shy.
