Timidness

I acquired a two and a half year old female Aussie. When I brought her home, I discovered she was afraid of everything. The other dogs, terrified of the outside, afraid of her collar and leash and about anything else you can think of. I had to discontinue leash training because she would get so stressed. She spends most of her time in her kennel which is located in the house. She was suppose to be a breeder but that didn't work out so she was never socialized as a puppy. All I want is a companion dog that is well trained in obedience. Do I have any hope of acquiring this ? Suggestions welcomed. Thank-you... Aussieman.
