BTW, dogging it also takes the form dog it in certain instances. i.e:

Don't dog it like that!

He dogs it all the time.

He can really dog it when he wants to.

And I've heard and used it many a time in referring to a day, for instance, when I'm feeling particularly lackadaisical and indifferent towards work:

I think I'll just dog it today.
(which could actually take another meaning of "just going through the motions" in this variation)
