My Labrador is not Happy in the house

[Broadleaf]

I'm worried about some behaviour that my Labrador is exhibiting and
wonder if anyone could shed some light.
She is 4 years old and we have had her for 2 months. We know her back ground and as far as we know she has never been mis-treated.
She spends most of her time outside, which is fine, but
when not outside, she tends to do one of three things. Either she
frantically runs from the front door to my mother's bedroom, where she
jumps onto the bed and will not move (no comment on why Mom allows
this), or she's frantically running from the bedroom to the kitchen to
eat (the sound of food prep is about the only thing that will
voluntarily move her from the bed), or she's franticaly trying to find
a way back outside again. Sometimes, this can lead to her trying to
jump over fences if a path to the front yard is not open, and I worry
that when she does this and someone isn't around she could hurt
herself.

I say frantically, because her running is always skittish and
panicked, with her body close to the ground and her ears tucked to the
side of her head. She looks scared/anxious. In particular, I've
noticed that when she is eating and I walk to the end of the kitchen
that leads to the rest of the house, she stops eating mid-meal--in
itself rather shocking--and will run in the same frantic fashion back
to the bedroom.

Initially, I thought it might be a reaction to our other dogs (another Labrador) constant
attention. Having another dog (and a female no less) has been a rather
exciting event for him, and he can sometimes be a bit too overbearing.
I'm not convinced that this is the case, though. When she is on the
bed in Mom's room, she wags her tale, is perfectly happy to play with
him, and she even exerts some dominance over him. It would appear that
they get along famously (which is a relief) and so I don't see their
relationship being the problem. We have over an acre of property, and
while we cannot take them for long walks every day off the
property, they do get plenty of exercise, so I don't think that's the
problem either.

I'm worried because there is obviously something that is making her
anxious or scared in the house, and while we are fine to let her enjoy
herself outside, I know that dogs are supposed to be social, and she
is being distinctly the opposite of social. It breaks my heart because
I can see that she's suffering from something and I don't know what so
I can't fix it

Sorry I've missed this posting.

How is she now? Sometimes a new dog takes a time to settle in. Simple as that?
