Try doing some research on Wenda Gu, who creates art out of hair. He might have some tips!

Failing that, I'd find a small yarn company and ask them to make the yarn for me.

Added: I'm surprised at all the negative reactions. Sure, it's "out there", but I don't think anyone should be saying it's gross or immoral. We're not talking about skinning the dogs alive! Don't YOU guys wear woollen items? Sheep aren't immune from bugs and critters you know!

I had the fur from my Samoyed spun into yarn. If you or her know someone who has sheep, alpacas or angora rabbits you could ask them to spin it or show her how to do it herself. Depending on the breed of dog it will make some really nice yarn. As for the knitting, she should learn how to do it herself. It will be much more satisfying than paying someone else to do it. One word of warning, if it gets wet it will smell like wet dog.
