I'm not sure that's a good idea. The walls appear to be close enough that you'd get some rather icky shadows with on-camera flash, with off-camera being a bit complex and perhaps unpractical for moving targets. Plus, I'm not sure how much the dogs and their handlers would appreciate it.

A longer, fast lens may be the better route to achieve subject isolation.
