We wont be at the house. My dog is terribly afraid of them, and usually runs by our side and lays down by us at even the slightest pop. Is there anything I can do to make the day a bit less traumatic for him?
Answer
Are you going to be home with him or are you leaving him alone?
If you're home, then just being there should help him a lot. Turn on the TV (not to a station playing the fireworks, of course) to help drown out the noise. Speak to him reassuringly. Keep all the windows and doors closed. Give him lots of cuddles. But don't act anxious about how he'll react... he'll pick up your anxiety and get more wound up. Just relax and show him that you're not worried.
If you're going out for the night, turn on the TV or create other white noise to muffle the fireworks. Put him in a smaller room or some place he feels safe. Cushion any areas if you think he might run around frantically and give him a place he can hide and feel safe (like his crate if he has one).
Obviously don't take him outside.
Here are some more tips:

How do I get my dog to stop barking in the early morning?
.
Every morning between 6-7, my dog barks nonstop and its really beginning to annoy everyone. I don't know why he does this and why he has to choose so early in the morning. I'll bang on the window and he'll stop for a few minutes, just to start up again. Any advice?
Answer
Where is your dog? If he is outside some sort of stimulation may be causing him to bark, if he sees someone or something he finds threatening or just interesting he may be trying to communicate that to you. If outside I suggest bringing him in the house and putting him in a crate with some sound playing (the tv, white noise, or some music) this way he doesn't hear distracting sound which may be triggering the behavior. If he is inside but in another room bring him into your room so you can give a 'No' every time he does it. Of course there are he options of bark collars either one with a shock or the citronella ones but I would only do this after trying to modify the behavior itself, but to do this you would have to figure out what the trigger is. It is more work, but it is never wise to take the easy way out with dogs.
