yeah mate the phycological effects can be hard to repair. Basically you need to let her know that you can protect her from all threats and she should regain her confidence. One trick I use is if you can find a large dog then you put it on the ground and hold it down and encourage her to come and sniff the dog in a submissive posture. One of the main problems will be if you see a big dog when you're out walking, you are likely to tense up a bit and send her nervous energy which will also make her anxious. It can turn into a bit of a vicious cycle
