...our communual garden? i got her at 2pm and all she has done is eat a bowl of food and sit on our armchair she has done 1 wee on newspaper but everytime i take her out to go toilet she just sits down and shakes and wont move. she wont follow me atall to go out or even around the house so i have to carry her to garden - we live in first floor flat. whats wrong with her?
i got my puppy from a decent breeder who i was recommended to by my sister in fact not a puppy mill - she is KC reg so i know she is healthy. She is quite happy sitting with me and cuddling up - she will fall asleep on me. i have only taken her outside once as i do not want her thinking she has to hold it!!! i don't think i did the wrong thing. and she has not been traumatised by me!!! she is quite happy now she is back inside and is curled up asleep on my lap as i write this so she cant be that traumatised
 
She is probably absolutely terrified - she has just been taken from her human family, her mother and siblings. It will take a few days for her to stop being scared. Make sure she is comfortable and reassured. Really, the breeder should have given you a tshirt or cloth with a familiar smell on it to comfort her - that is what a good breeder would do.
