We live fairly close to the NC state fairgrounds, and for 10 nights in October, there's a big and very loud fireworks display from 9:45 to 10pm. We've always just sat with the dog or dogs on the bed, close, talking in a calm voice: "Nothing to worry about, it's OK, just noise." That has worked pretty well with our Scotties and the Scottie mix. This will be the first year for our rescue Yorkie, Cricket. Hope it works with her.

I live in the suburbs of small city next to Dallas & some years no fireworks, some years every other block seems to erupt every hour on the hour from 9:00 pm on. I couldn't do that to any police force busy on major holiday evenings!
