Default 50mm and flash

I have a question regarding indoor shooting.
I bought a 50mm f/1.8 lens and it does great in low light.
But how do you take photos with the flash in close proximity under extremely low light?
I mean, it's 50mm so you have to be pretty close to the subject to fill the frame.
But in doing so, the flash totally blows out the whole picture.
So, how do you take close picture indoor with flash?
I have a white dog and when I photograph him within 4' it totally turns out white. And I know it's not the shutter speed, it's the flash being too close.
Thanks,
Dave
