I have two large (over 100 lbs each) Great Pyrs that really hate fireworks. Unfortunately, we have some close neighbors that shoot off fireworks, some really loud, right here in the neighborhood. We have tried sedating them but that usually doesn't work. The thing that seems to work the best is to close all the doors in the back hallway and turn off the hall light. That gives them a dark (no fireworks flash) and quiet as possible place to hide. My third dog is part Pyr, part Blue Tick and has to be held in a lap or petted and talked to the whole time. Next time which will probably be New Years, I am going to call the sheriffs office and that a deputy patrol the area.
