Give your puppy some one on one time...take her for a walk or car ride without all the other dogs sometimes. When on walks, let her meet other dogs and people...and let others pet her too! Danes are normally pretty quiet and laid back, so don't worry too much...the other dogs will give her props when she reaches full size! Be careful though,because as a 3 month old pup she is actually quite fragile because her bones are very soft due to all the rapid growing she must do...you should keep her off of stairs, and if the other dogs are rammy you may want to think of keeping her in the house seperate from them until she is at least 6 months old. And just to give you a heads up on the walks, they won't be very long because as a large breed puppy she will tire very quickly...you will find she prefers sleeping at this time in her life.

Give her time to get used to her new surrpundings, and try to have some time to separate her from the rest and give her affection.
She's a Great Dane? The other dogs won't be pushing her around long then!

All dogs are pack animals and the others are showing her who is next in the pecking order.
You are the pack leader and as such should be careful when showing favorites, the other dogs wont understand.
Make a fuss of all your dogs at the same time and show the others that she is one of the family, they will soon grow to accept her.

Give her some quality time with you away from the other dogs....go on walks together and expose her to different people and surroundings. Give her some time without the other dogs to play with you....Perhaps she's just too shy when surrounded by all your other dogs....

I agree with MJ. this will give the dog one on one time with yous as well as a great way to develop confidence and see other dogs and people.

She will slowly get use to you and the other dogs some times it takes a while. Don't raise your voice around her .Lots of love and care will bring her around. She will trust you slowly.Remember dogs don't under stand words they understand tone of voice.

Take her to a puppy kindergarten class so she can play with puppies her own age. And then take her to a puppy agility class, they are a great confidence builder!

My puppy was the same way. She just got bossier in time.

Have you considered that being shy IS her personality?
