Need advice

Get her to the vet asap. What you describe sounds like an injured dog, as
Debbie S pointed out. Shaking and a strange desire to be away from you &
the house (her comfort zone) is not good. Check her over (literally pick
her coat apart to see her skin over every square inch of her body) for any
scabs, discoloration of the skin, swelling, punctures, scrapes, etc. Gently
press around to see if you may be able to find a sore spot by watching her
reaction to applied pressure. Keep her hydrated and watch her stools for
signs of more trouble.

I agree with the others, Dave. Anytime you see a sudden change in
your dog's behavior, it's always smart to start off with a visit to
the vet, since no one actually saw anything happen which might account
for this "new" behavior. It could be a bee or wasp sting, a thorn,
etc. Even before you take her to the vet, go over every square inch of
her body with your hands, and see if you can find anything that looks
suspicious.

Then give it a little more time, and see what happens. Don't have her
interact with any other dogs for a week or so, especially your
brother's Lab. And then introduce her to new dogs slowly, gradually,
in totally new areas, if possible, and see what happens.

If she doesn't improve any, come on back and we'll take another shot
at it.

And good luck!
