Question
hi
I just got a dog 2 days ago. She has been with owner i got her from for almost 2 yrs the dog is almost 2yrs old. we brought her home and put in a pen with other dogs and she sure scared or nervouse she goes and hide from us when go by the pen what can i do to help her be calm. plus she is pregnant what do to keep her and her puppies calm. please help.

Answer
Give her a few days to adjust.  Unless carefully exposed to strangers when still very young, a dog may not adjust well to a new home and new owner.  Spend time at the pen, but don't force yourself on her.  Being the one to feed her will be an important thing.
