Nice job on these, except for the cropping/composing decisions.
#1 and #2 - no need to show us all that empty space up top. There's nothing interesting there. Crop in half, present the lower half.
#3. You cropped off the paws! Sometimes this happens when the photographer uses centre focus points. If a different focus point were used, (or focus/recompose) the photo would be more balanced.
#4. Nicely done. If you want to make it a bit better, compose with the dog slightly on our left (because he is facing right) rather than centered.
Final comment - That's one cute puppy.
Regarding #3 this is a result of working very quickly with a very young puppy in a make shift studio, sadly getting the composition and the pose right isn’t always possible but I agree it is a bloody shame I missed her paws 😢
