With my first beagle, when he became upset due to fireworks or thunder, our response was "it's okay poor dog" in a very babying tone, holding him on our laps and petting him. Dog was always afraid to the point if he heard static on the am radio, he ran under the bed!
Second beagle, first thunderstorms and fireworks "oh wow listen to the boom booms!" in an enthusiastic praising voice, no extra attention or petting. Dog stays close to me now, but does not pant, shake or whine. If only we could get him to stop panting and shaking in the car (4hr trip to NH)!
