Get down to the dog's level - kneel or even lay flat.
Try head shots as well as whole body.
You could try the sameshots at various apertures to control depth of field (depth of fielld is how much is in focus, front to back - the larger the aperture, the smaller the DOF; the smaller the aperture, the greater the DOF).
Don't worry if you don't get everything right - that comes with experience - just enjoy the shoot.
