Hello Keith! I have a nervous Yorkie too. He's made our home happy for almost 5 years. My biggest advice to you is don't rush anything. These nervous babies will come around in their own time. When your Missy is happy, and in the mood to be around you or explore, train with her. That's one of the things that have brought me and my Kaji closer together. He's such a good dog! He listens very well. Is able to be recalled easily and quickly now.
The only thing I can't seem to change is his anxiousness. I've learned to observe our surroundings and if I see something that I know will have him running for the bushes, I pick him up before he sees it. Or changes, Kaji hates changes. If anything changes that Kaji doesn't like, he becomes physically ill. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, the vet and I do our best to get him back to normal.
