I totally agree with Tracy. If you give undue notice to and then try to
soothe and comfort the dog when she is acting fearful then she will think
that there is something to be afraid of. Simply act as if everything is
fine. It can take a while. But eventually she should take her lead from you.
And not be so fearful.
