I believe the answer is:

lab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'dog' is the first definition.
(short for labrador)

'experiments?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun. However, I know that 'experiments' relates to this answer.

'used for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lab that I've seen before include "Scientists' workplace" , "Workplace for researcher" , "Socialist" , "biology classroom?" , "Chemist's workroom" .)
