I really like taking fearful dogs on hikes on a retractable leash and going over fallen logs and hills and high grass and stuff so the dog will be encouraged (but not forced) to follow me over the obstacles and I find that it helps to build their confidence a lot. Kind of like agility but that obviously requires a whole different level of trust.
