Description

Is your dog at risk of overheating this summer? 🌡️ You head out for a hunt, a training session, or even just a walk — and suddenly your dog seems sluggish, panting hard, or worse. Overheating can happen quickly, and if you don’t know what to look for, it can be dangerous.

In this episode of the Cornerstone Gundog Academy podcast, we dig into the warning signs of dog overheating, what to do if it happens, and how to prevent it in the first place.

You’ll learn:

  • The early signs and symptoms your dog may be overheating
  • What to do immediately if your dog gets too hot
  • Proven prevention strategies to keep your dog safe in the heat
  • Special considerations for retrievers and hunting dogs working in hot weather

Whether you’re training a retriever in the field, taking your hunting dog out on a summer day, or just enjoying time with your family pet, these principles apply to all breeds and situations. My goal is to help you not only recognize overheating before it becomes dangerous, but also to provide you with clear, actionable steps you can use immediately to keep your dog safe.
