No, not from your dog but you could from raw or undercooked pork. If your dog has tapeworms you need to treat with the once a month topical flea & tick killers such as Frontline Plus. You just put a small amount on the skin once a month to keep your pet flea & tick free. The tapeworm needs an intermediate host, the flea, to pass through, then the infected flea is ingested by the dog when it bites at the fleas, so if you keep the fleas off then you keep your pet tapeworm free. In the mean time, treat your dog with a tapeworm dewormer such as Droncit or other dewormers. Be sure to read the label of the dewormer to make sure it will get rid of tapeworms specifically.
