If Max wants me out of bed he taps it with his right paw. When he is about to get a treat he just sits down and offers me his left paw first - no command required.
I'm sure there are academic papers on this. But tomorrow, I shall observe.

Re: How are your dogs coping with the heat?
We aren’t getting the extreme heat that you are so our girls are coping quite well but when it is very hot out I walk them in through the forest where it’s somewhat cooler. I also cut their fur so it’s shorter, put ice in their water and have a kiddie pool in our backyard for them to cool off in. Our oldest girl uses it all the time. She will also sleep on the hardwood floor under the bed if she’s too hot. Last night was very hot so I left the fan on. Right now they have little blankets on them cause it is cool. We’re ALL cool.
