Shoot from a much lower perspective -- this is supposed to be a portrait. You wouldn't shoot a portrait of kids while standing on a ladder ...
Position the dog between (at least) two lamps and avoid using any flash, and try to have a solid, neutral background. She looks like a good dog who would let you set up the shot and brush the hair aside from her eyes at the last second. Use a tripod and timer and sit close enough to reach her for some last-second posing "direction." If your camera has a burst or sequence mode which can be initiated by the timer even better.
