The best way for me to take photos of pets is next to a big window. It's always a good detraction, and you can control how much light comes threw, with filters and shutter speed.
really nice photo. You are right, getting the dog in just the right light will give you a beautiful shot of your pet if you can keep them still. I usually take many shots then delete the ones I don't like just to get that special 'one'. I love photos of dogs who will stand in the window with thier paws up on the ledge (if they can reach). Your mini schnauzer is very sweet.
