Issues with my dog

I just need some help with my current dog.
He has issues that I cannot deal with anymore. He was given to me by my mom, she got him from my grandmother who no longer wanted him. When we first got him from my grandmother he was fine, then we got him fixed.
I am at my wits end.
After getting fixed (4 years ago) he has become extremely fearful and skittish, I don't know what to do. It's to the point where I can no longer deal with him.

What have you tried already?

You may need to hire a behaviourist who uses positive reinforcement.

You could also start by reading "The Cautious Canine" by Patrica McConnell (or other books on the subject). Just stay away from any kind of training that uses punishment/pain/fear.
