So I have owned three dogs in total. One was scared by the explosions.
The other two just barked at them and seemed to think of them as a game. Initially, at least. As they got older, they just grew indifferent.
I have a Yorkie which freaks the fuck out whenever there's fireworks, trembles and shakes and wants to be held the entire time.
I also have a great Pyrenees and he might bark at a particularly close one but otherwise he just sleeps through it all.
Nods I have a chihuahua. He barks whe he hears the first few. Settles down after that.
But on sat night I was taking him for a walk. Got to the end of my road. Just as a huge local display about 200m away started. Bloody loud.
Dog turns and heads home so bloody quick. He practically dragged 6ft me all the way. Was not happy when that close. But settled down once inside.
I had a cocker spaniel that would sit in the garden watching with us, the display was 1/2 a mile away.
My dog will bark at fireworks, but will mostly ignore them if we have the TV on or music playing. It's mostly only a problem if one goes off when she goes out in the garden at night to "do her business".
I've known other animals that will completely freak out at them however, even despite having had attempts to expose them properly.
