The page I am linking you to has many videos concerning issues you can have with dogs. If you scroll almost to the bottom you will see one on fearfulness. Explore the site. It's good stuff.

Reward her and praise. If she stops on her own, walk in front of her to the end of the leash(a regular, we never train on flex a leash). Squat down and pretend you found something very interesting on the ground. Make loud sniffing sounds and pretend to paw at the ground. When she comes to check it out, give the tiny tasty bite sized treat you have in your hand. Then say in a happy voice, Lets go or what ever cue you use (heel etc.) And get going again. Hope this helps

Thank you
