The heat has arrived, and I have had conversations with dog owners about shaving their dogs to keep them.
This is something that I would not recommend as their hair actually helps them to stay cool. Their sweat or water from swimming stays in their fur and when the wind blows, it helps to cool them. Take them on activities early in the day when it is cooler, and let them stay home where it is cool during the heat of the day. Never leave them in the car on a hot day, and remember that if the pavement is hot to your touch, it can create blisters on you your dogs pads.
