One more thing...

When walking her try training her at the same time as this will keep her focused on you and distracted from her anxiety. Simply things like making sure she walks BEHIND you and correcting quickly and swiftly when she gets ahead of you (a quick snap of the leash if she trotts ahead) same applies if she starts dragging behind smelling everything. She must stay at your pace! If you walk faster she speeds up if you slow down she slows down... she should be watching you! Mix it up walk fast then slow..then stop making sure she stays right with you. Make her stay even if you start walking until you give her a command that what you want is for her to "leave her stay." Always walk with a bag of treats with you she will be watching you like a hawk and the possitive reinforcement is very effective.

Body languange is very important walk with your shoulders and head high.
