Also Rescue Remedy might help too. There are also de-conditioning tapes/videos, you can buy to help work with that problem. I know it is difficult. My girl was scared witless her first year from firecrackers going off. Almost three years later she is pretty good. But we did work a lot with her. Taking her to fun places that also have "noise" associated with them. We have a boardwalk here in the city, near to a busy street, so there was lots of traffic sounds, horns etc; but there was a lovely walk, and a swim in the lake too. We took her on a ferry boat ride, that blows the horn when coming into the pier. But we also had lots of treats ready, and got her focussed on us doing some obedience work, as the ferry docked.
It takes some time, and lots of patience on your part.
Good luck with your girl. Let us know how it goes.
