Default Puppy Shots

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums and would really like some input on a few pictures.
I was gifted (well semi-gifted) my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel T3, on 10/27. These are from my first night of shooting.

I was just playing around with my settings trying to see what works best in low light (as these were taken around 10 pm). How is the lighting? Did I do an okay job? Please let me know how I can improve.


Shooting Mode Manual Exposure
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/10
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO Speed 3200
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
Focal Length 50.0mm


*I know the white balance is way off (I now know how to fix this) but I actually like the warm tones within the picture. Her paw is over exposed, any tips on fixing it?
EXIF
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/4
Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6
ISO Speed 800
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
Focal Length 53.0mm
This is from Day 2


Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/20
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO Speed 3200
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
Focal Length 49.0mm

Welcome to DPS. It is always good to see a fresh name show up. Nice pics of your dogs.

Be sure to ask a specific question as in composition, exposure, lighting, what you were trying to accomplish, etc. Also include the EXIF data.

I think your third shot is the best, although it still has some distractions in the background - nice portrait of your dog ...
