We have the kiddie pool also for Cullen, but we never leave him outside alone, so we don't have to worry much. He has a whole rooom now instead of a crate MOST of the time, with ceiling fans and the AC on always! For Schutzhund, since we are outdoors the whole time, i keep HUGE jugs of water, along with a cooler of frozen bottles and ice... and I am trying to sew a sheet with hooks to clasp to the bottom of the back of the explorer, and then put cold wraps/icepacks under

Oh.. and ... if it's a little warm in the house ( our AC guys are bums, and it craps out every now n then) we put the icepacks in his fleece bed lined with plastic.. and he can lay on his bed, and it's cool
