Question about 5 month old cowering when approached

Just got a 5 month old pup.
And everytime I go near her she lays straight down on the floor.
Why would she react this way?
Has anyone else had this problem and whats the best course to correct this?
She does it with my wife sometimes and has yet to do it with my kids.
Or if I'm petting my lab mix she comes over and starts licking my hand, but if I go to touch her she cowers again.
She is the 3rd rottie puppy I've had and I've raised them since I was 12 and the other 2 never reacted like this.
I have training starting tommorow and when I asked the trainer what it could be she stated it was because she showing my dominance over her.
