My attempt at depth of field. I'm not sure what I am doing. Is this the place to ask questions? I would appreciate any comments. I us a Canon Rebel T6. Settings: Shooting Mode-Landscape; Lighting-Default setting; Ambience- Standard setting; Metering Mode-Evaluative Metering; Shutter Sp- 1/125; AV-11; Metering Mode-Evaluative Metering; ISO Sp-100; Lens-EF-S18-55mm; Image quality-Fine; White Bal-Ambience priority; AF Mode-Manual focusing; Sharpness-4.
First please let me say that this is a gorgeous photo and your dog and they are so cute!
In response to your question:
Depth of field is controlled by Aperture (AV). In choosing the 'Landscape' mode the camera is told to get everything in detail to capture the landscape. Your AV is 11, which gets everything into detail. An AV number or between say 2-6 (so a smaller number) will give you the depth of field you are after. It brings the subject (say your beautiful dog) into focus (if it is your point of interest and focus) and everything at that distance to you, while everything else will fade off (provide depth of field) to the rest of the photo.
Shooting Portrait mode - instead of your chosen landscape, should also give you a shallower depth of field.
I forget to say, yes, please keep asking questions, as this is such a supportive community and If someone has the ability to answer they are always happy to assist.

I hope this might help you a little :)
