For dogs that'll soak and not tear up, i put those cheap plastic kiddie pools in their pen so they can take a dip when they feel like the t.  Really hot strtches, i'll hook a couple a those lawn sprinklers that stand on a tripod about 3/foot high and put em on a timmer where they wet the kennel dirt every coupla hrs for 10 min or so, cools things off purdy good. Ha e ,ip tied misters along a stretch of the top fen e rail and put em on timers like i des ri ex with sprinklers,

     just keep them in plenty of shade and remove all the bedding from the houses and barrels .  and I will use the plastic barrels cut in half length wise for them to take a dip in .   and if I don't change their water every day I at least do it every other day .  . if able those misters are well worth the effort .
