No need for apologizes. The more detail the better the picture for suggestions. I have nothing to offer you. My now 13 year pup has always been petrified of thunder, fireworks, nail guns but not to the point where he's afraid to go outside. I handle these terrors of his by verbal positive reinforcement by telling him in a gentle tone "it's ok". I don't coddle him, this shows there IS something to fear. He has never over come his fear of these noises.
Hopefully someone will chime in with a solution, advise, suggestion.
