Oh, she's probably do so well in agility and redirect all those issues with insecurity into having a grand old time and working out her nerves. Try that NILIF method of dealing with her day to day and read up on how to be a loving and absolutely positive, gentle leader of your dog. And sit back and watch them change. I'm currently reading a wonderful audio book about positive-reinforcement training by Tamar Geller, The Loved Dog. She is an Israeli ex-intelligence officer who loves dogs and teaching them nonaggressively with love and fun. That's how I've always trained all dogs - made it more fun than anything and they eat it up and mind me and I've never been growled at unless testing a dog's limits as a puppy and never bitten except as a child when I dressed my Peke in a bonnet and doll dress! Dogs love to work and play and combing those into the same thing really works for most.
