Try a little fill flash on the dog.
Alright. I do not have an external flash and am not able to purchase one in the near future, although I will purchase one sometime in the future. Would a reflector set suffice?

Get him in the shade, and watch your focus on him as well.
The first three, and somewhat the fourth, were all taken under a tree. Simply out of curiosity, which ones are misfocused? I was having a heck of time getting the goober in focus.

Your white balance looks too warm on the first three. Fill flash or shade, as mentioned, would help these as well.
Thank you, I shot in RAW and I guess I got a little too "warm bar happy"
I was going for a warmer, fall look. What is the rule of thumb for white balance?

For this shot I put the sun to his back, and hit him with fill flash with an index card for a bounce card...
Great shot! Thank you for your setup info!
Thank you everyone!
