Are your dogs afraid of loud noises from fireworks? (Tips)

Buddy and Oso both hate New Years Eve and The forth of July because of the loud noises that accompany it. I live in a residential area, but the way they set off fireworks around me, you wouldn't know it. These tips are good, my only problem Buddy and Oso can be a bit disruptive in side the home if they are agitated. So, what we tend to do is give them spots outside in our back yard where they can go to for refuge when this type of stuff happens. We also keep a close eye on them to make sure they are OK and not too upset.
