No kidding!

So let's try to get the poor thing from out of the closet (as well as the problem) and by building up the confidence, providing a lot more of individual and separate attention and by lending lots of support, Corgi number two might not need a dark place to hide away.
Get her out and force her to face corgi number one and have another fight, yeah, that will get her to be more confident.

I agree she needs seperate time and attention. But until you remove the source of her fear, which is most likely corgi #1 she isn't going to be more confident or want to come out and be part of the family.

You can't just change a dog's mind about things by forcing them to face their fears. It's not that easy. She's going to be thinking all the time that the other corgi just might get her.
