I think it really is just practice. And paying attention to the histogram so that you can adjust your settings to make sure that you're getting enough light. I think Nikon has a focusing function that is similar to Canon's AI Servo mode. I think Nikon's implementation is supposed to be even better. I've been able to go down to about 1/200 for shutter speed action, though a few stops higher is even better. There really are so many things to keep track of! Like Michele said - at the end of the day - what you have are some really fun, loveable shots of that dog! She’s so pretty and really showing off the tennis ball love!

This was also in reference to a film slr though. The digi's don't always cooperate that way. And the theory works great on the pitchers mound or home base, but I've never tried it on something like hockey, where, like a dog, it would be constantly moving.

(trust me i know, because i'm still going through that learning curve...and probably always will be, to some extent). i think my favorites are the ones of daisy chewing on her ball - those are great. i love the blue-green color of the building behind her combined with the snow. those shots worked out fabulously! i think you’re doing a great job! so much of it is just experience.
