She's still little and there's so much to learn when you're little.
Just try and make it a game. Put it on her and only leave it on for a min or two. That's what I do with puppies before they go to their new homes. Take it off and try a little later. She'll get used to it. If you get a harness for her do the same with that.
Alot of puppies go through a period of being "brave" then around 12 wks they go through a "fear period" for a few weeks and then around 5-6 mos they get "brave & fearless". Just lots of comfort and love and she'll do just fine. You asked a very good question. They have very tender hearts and they can act like their feelings are just crushed
sometimes.
