More then likely she doesnt feel secure where she is.
She needs to find a place that is warm and safe feeling.
If you can, find her a warm bed/whelping box, out of the way of other people/animals in the house, where she can have some quiet time. Also don't disturb her to see the puppies to much, this will make her feel uneasy. Even if she loves you.

She's probably just trying to find an area where she feels her pups will be safe and undisturbed. The more you follow her around and are around the pups, the more she will move them until she gets more comfortable about the whole thing. Just keep an eye on them to make sure they are in a safe place, but give them some distance too. As long as you know they are all healthy and you can give them the space then do for awhile. Once Mama is calm then they can all relax.

Not sure. Where do you have them? Maybe the place that there are now isn't warm enough.. It is very important to keep them warm. I have 4 week old boxer pups right now and she has never move them. she feels really safe. some dogs are funny like that.. i have another dog {the father} and 6 kids running around so im not sure if it is you// how long have you had this dog. if is wasn't for long maybe she doesn't trust you yet. my boxer mom tryed to have her pups on my bed while i was sleeping so im not sure it is a trust thing.. hope she finds a spot to make her feel better about her pup. congrats and good luck

You've already been given the reasons for her behavior so I hope you've been paying attention and leave her be otherwise she'll kill the pups rather than allow you or other pets or children to harm them.
If she chooses a spot that's not to your liking them find her one with about the same light and temperature that you can all live with and keep everyone away from them!
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing you should have made yourself aware of BEFORE the litter was on the ground and prepared for.

The most logical answer i can give from the details you gave are that she is trying to protect them. even if she is around familar people it is an animals insticnt to protect there pups. there are other factors such a light, warmth, noise level, activity level, are they constantly being touched or picked up by u or someone else. Your best bet is to put her and the pups someplace quiet, dark but not too dark, a comfortable temp. and leave them alone. She is doing her job. What a good mom.

She dosn't feel safe with the spot she's using. find a spot where its enclose perhaps a box with only a small hole large enough for her to fit through. Keep a secret door in the back of the box for yourself so when you put your dog outside you can go in and check on the puppies. Good Luck!

She is trying to protect them from you, as harsh as that sounds. Mama doesnt want anything to happen to her pups. As much as you want to see them, leave 'em be! Check from a distance, but if you keep getting close Mamas going to move them again. I hope you havent been picking the puppies up!

She is just being protective of them. It is an instinct that animals have.

the reason why she is doing that is maby because she wants her pups to be safe she may feel like you or something/someone is threatning her.
