Back in the day when I had one dog that absolutely almost died every 4th of July if the neighbors started setting fireworks off?
When they would start blowing them off I would get a bowl of popcorn a six pack or bottle of wine for me. Then take the dog into the bedroom, give her a special brand new chewy, close the door and either turn up the tunes real loud and/or the TV and settle in for the long haul for the dog's sake. Confining them in a smaller area really makes a difference. It ultimately was the only thing that worked for her.
In the past, that's what I've done and it's worked fairly well. But there seem to be newish fireworks that sound like a war zone. They don't just make the usual noises, they actually rattle the windows and shake the furniture and sound like a bomb - all at the same relative time.
