Both of mine are trained gun dogs so those kind of noises don't bother them. In fact we always go to the local fireworks display and Dixie watches each one go up. Dusty just lays around watching all the people!

Honestly though... from the time they first come into my house (for Dusty that was the second he was born) they are aclimated to loud noises on purpose just to help avoid the fear of loud noises. Anyone with a pup should consider doing that in a teaching way. Mine aren't even afraid of the vacumn cleaner and I have to continually tell them to get up so I can vacumn where they are laying.

I hope everyone has a safe 4th.
