A dog will usually cool itself down by panting, however it may also lie with its stomach on a cool surface, because this is where a dog loses most of its heat. If you find that your dog is too hot and is not cooling down fast enough, or if you want to help your dog cool down quicker, the most advisable thing to do is NOT to pour water on your dog's back, but to put water on its neck and abdominal area. As the dog pants the air passes into its lungs, and back out the throat where the water just helps the cooling process along. The reason not to pour water on your dog's back is because this is the area on your dog which is designed to protect it from the cold the most, have you ever noticed how when it's cold your dog lies with its back protecting the rest of its body?

Why do dogs open their mouth with the tongues out and what to do?

Usually it means that they're trying to cool down. When a dog pants, moisture from the dog's exhaled breath condenses on the tongue and then evaporates into the air. This evaporation causes the surface of the tongue to cool. As the tongue cools, the blood flowing through it also cools and helps cool the dog's entire body through the circulatory system.
