-Crate your dog or move their bedding into a enclosed space like a closet. A dog who feels "safe" will be less anxious, and a "den" is the instinctual place for a dog to feel safe. It may help to cover your dog's crate with a blanket or sheet to create a den feeling.
-Create as much white noise as you can. Fans, TV's, radios, etc. Try to drown out the majority of the sound.
-Find a T-shirt that fits the dogs chest tightly and put it on them. No one knows why this helps, but many owners swear this makes a difference.
-Over the counter sedatives (Like rescue remedy) or veterinary prescriptions like Ace or Valium are a good short term treatment- although not available in an emergency. If your dog is severely anxious, try to keep a stash on hand.
- Short term and long term, one of the most important things for an owner to do is not to coddle the dog. Cooing and petting are both"rewarding" actions for a dog- they are used as rewards in training- so what are you training your dog to do when you respond to his anxiety with petting and cooing?
Rather than babying your scared dog, try:For dogs scared of "bangs", check out Dale Burrier's article, "The Paper Bag Game - Desensitizing Your Dog to Loud Noises"
For other anxieties, try desensitization CDs. You can by CDs that contain all the common sounds that dogs are afraid of. You can begin playing these CDs at a barely audible level at meal times, play times, and all the "happiest" times of the day. Over the course of weeks you can turn the volume up and after several months your dog should respond to the sound thunder or fireworks with interest or even excitment.
what you should do is sound proof your basement then when the fireworks start put your dog down there and it should keep it calm.
You can calm your dog down by taking to a place where they feel is "safe".BY:KARYN.B
you can't. but you can put him in a sound proof room when fireworks night happens every year.
Depends on the dog since some are afraid of thunderstorms, fireworks, and vacuums. There are even some dogs that are afraid of cats and sudden movements.

When it gets scared calm it down and stroke it and stay with it, don't leave it alone.
dog are afraid of fireworks because dogs have hearing 10 times more acute than humans but also 10 times more fragile . fireworks sound is so big that it can damaged and frighten dogs. dogs ears can be damaged easily and so then cause a brain wave to the dog causing it to shake

give the dog rum
keep petting it
To make a dog calm down just hold him down gently and say calm down If that don't work then put the dog in the back yard to calm him down
Close all doors near the fireworks and close all blindes/curtains and stay close to your dog
