There is not much of an issue with walking a dog on Shabbos, look at Shabbos K’hilchaso, where he discusses the exact guidelines. Additionally, there are some possum who permit the touching of companion animals on shabbos. As to the issue of yom kippur, most shuls have some break midday, where you can let the dog do his business, but most large breeds can “hold it in” for 8-10 hrs if you are out of the house.
