A question/debate topic since summer is coming up- cooling gear!

I know there’s tons of harnesses and cooling vests and collars and beds out there that *claim* to cool down a dog, but which of these actually works?

Obviously a splash in water, drinking enough, low amount of exercise and shade all help to cool down a dog, but I’m talking specifically about gear (and which gear you should avoid) or things like cooling chews or grooming hacks

Another thing I was wondering is whether you can somehow train your dog to be able to resist heat better- does exposure to heat already help to get them used to it, physically or mentally?
