I agree, some very good advice has already been posted. My last GSP was a great gun dog, loved the shotgun coming out of the safe, retrieved on land and in water. But, had to tranquilize her during fireworks season. Something about the bright flash and boom at night i guess. Not as bad with thunder and lightening but still didn't like it. I agree the worse thing to do is cuddle when they are anxious, this only instills the behavior. Instead go about business as usual and hopefully the behavior changes. Dogs can sense if you're uneasy also.
