Mine's been used to sleeping with an air compressor hose being blasted on and off all day since she was a puppy. Thunder and other loud noises don't faze her a bit. People walking anywhere near the house (even across the street!) get her full attention, however! LOL

When we are outside he runs in the direction of the first few that go off, with a deep growl and menacing barking. A few more and he pretty much ignores them, he is 11 months old so this year is his first real exposure . Thunder does not bother him at all. Does that sound about right for his age, nerve-wise?

My GSDs couldn't care less.
My JRT thinks its part of a courage test and gets all wound up, barking to engage. He knows the difference between gunflire/artillery sounds and thunder. Thunder he doesn't even notice. Nearby artificial explosions get him all amped. I attribute using the base's K9 facility for training in his youth had something to do with that.
The old rottie I used to have developed a thunder/fireworks phobia as she got older. She wa around 5 or so when it really started to get problematic. I have no idea why. Oddly enough, the only way I found to calm her down was throw a towel over her head. For some reason, that worked.
