I'm a pyromaniac and will be shooting a huge display tomorrow but its already started tonight in the neighborhood. Any tips?
You're a good dog mom/dad. I used to date a girl who worked for the Humane society and she had three "unadoptable" dogs she took so they wouldn't be put down. I had to move pretty slow generally because one of the dogs was on edge constantly. She sniffed me once after 3 months and that was "huge progress" according to the gf. Formerly abused animals are hard to deal with, so good on you.

Thanks! I got the dog from the pound and I am pretty sure she was abused.
Shortly after she moved in with us, she would run away and hide in the corner whenever someone said "goddammit". I used the same technique ( gave her lots of praise and treats as I repeated "goddammit" over and over) to break her if that fear.
