Your best bet is to enroll Chloe in a good obedience class. There, she will learn to listen to you even with other dogs and people around. Under ordinary circumstances, she should not be too hot. Do not leave her outdoors in high temperatures with no shade or cold water (keep putting ice cubes in her water bowl if she is going to be out longer than 15 minutes). When it is very hot out, only let her stay out for enough time to do her business, and then bring her inside. If your home does not have air conditioning, a fan can be very helpful. Ice cubes in her bowl are a good idea indoors, too, or you can give her one periodically to chew. She cannot stay inside a car, even with the windows open halfway, for even a few minutes while you "run in to pick something up." Cars overheat very, very quickly. You may also find that someone has broken into your can to rescue your dog, which in certain circumstances is legal in places.
