I have a harness that I wet and put into the freezer. My dogs like ice cubes in their water. We also have a dog pool that the dogs like to jump in and out of.

Ice cubes with baby carrots frozen inside.
Shade hopping during our walks.
An oscillating fan at ground level.

Yup, dog pool to play in and ice cubes to eat.

If the dog pool is not an option and it's very hot, I'll sometimes get a wet towel and use it to dampen his fur, especially his chest and stomach area.

If we're at a dog park I'll usually wet Bernie and Basil down regularly.

This last weekend we took them to the dog beach which they always enjoy. Lots of water to swim in and cool off :)

Make a corgicicle:

Only way I know to wet a corgi: sit on ground, legs out straight, put corgi between your legs upside-down, pour copious amounts of water on the belly fur with massage. Otherwise, it's like trying to wet a duck. Keeps 'em cool. Without shade, overheating is a serious issue.

Play "Kill the hose stream". Gwynnie would rather bite the hose stream than EAT. It's a wet game. Never tires of it. It's like the vacuum cleaner. Lawn sprinkler? Children's wading pool?
