Great point Peter!  When in doubt I try to find out if there are quieter 
places in case Holly gets to stressed but, I usually don't need them.  The 
best advice is, know your dog and yourself.  If loud places don't bother 
you, they may not bother your dog iether!  Not always true but I have had 
very few issues so far.  Holly goes to wrestling matches, powwows, concerts 
and fireworks sisplays!  Sometimes the first noises get her but after a few 
minutes she adjusts well.  In fact, a few months after I came back from 
Pilot, I had occassion to go to a fireworks display.  Holly was spooked by 
the first few but then, she put her front paws on the wall and watched them. 
Even when I was in school with holly and fireworks or thunder was going on, 
I would stand under the awning and see how Holly reacted.  The noise would 
first startle her but then, she would adjust after a couple of minutes.
