Default Poppy is scared when on walks.

Poppy is scared of lots of things when we are out on walks and a lot of the time she will refuse to walk until I carry her. She is scared of bikes/scooters, any sort of loud noise, ice cream vans ect. One park which we go to a lot usually has a bouncy castle for the children and she is also scared of the humming noise that it makes, and when lots of people are around she is terrified. I don't know why this is because she was well socialised as a pup, and we have always walked her in busy and noisy enviroments so she should be well used to these types of situations. I'm assuming it is just because she is a small dog and can be frightened easily but do you have any ideas on how I can help her? She will be two next month and she's pretty much always been like this, although it has gotten worse in the past 6 months or so. I'm getting pretty sick of taking her out for a 'carry' instead of a walk.
