However our four year old lab is afraid of everything - she was born into lab rescue and has never been hurt or abused. Any ideas? She is not mean or anything but when someone comes near her she rolls over and pees then runs to hide

Well Julie that is normal. Wolves did that to the pack leader. She is just saying she is an underdog. She does it as an apology. When you enter try throwing a treat to her. After that just ignor her.When she approches you do not I repete DO NOT pet har on the head. instead kneel down and rub her chest.Also give her simple commands such as "Stan,Stay" when she greets you. Then she express her devotion in a non-subbmissive posture and earn your praise.
