News and other articles with clickbait bypassed by including the spoiler in the title (put it after a vertical bar "|") or in the post body. Same basic idea as reddit's savedyouaclick, but less uptight for now. E.g. it's fine to link directly to non-paywalled news sources. Mod volunteers wanted.

Voluntary head dunking is a simple trick for maximum cooling. The research describes how positive reinforcement is used to train dogs to dunk their heads in a bucket of water, going after a toy or treat.

Use a treat in a bucket or a toy in a bucket of water, encourage the dog to get it, give them a treat for doing it, and repeat on hot days to help the dog learn to do it to cool themselves off.
