Building Confidence

I recently adopted a 2.5 yr old female bullmastiff. She is a great dog- house broken, create trained, solid on all basic obedience commands and very affectionate with her new family. Unfortunately, she is rather skittish in new situations and around new people - not exactly the fearless confidence the breed is supposed to project. She will often urinate if approached too quickly by a man (she's more comfortable with women) and will stop dead in her tracks if spooked by a shopping cart or other loud moving objects.
