Use a pair of tweezers. Try to grab as near to the mouth parts as possible. A quarter-twist on the way appears to improve the chances of fully removing the mouth-parts.
If the dog is irritable/large/potentially dangerous applying a muzzle or similar may be wise, especially if the tick is near the head.

you don'tANS2:A tick buries into the skin using barbed mouthparts. If you have plucked the body off the dog but the head remained buried in the skin, you may have some success in removing the head by using fine tweezers. Your dog will generally be better off waiting for the head to fester out like a splinter. If you don't see improvement in a couple days you probably should take the dog to a vet to get it attention. To properly remove a tick, you want to avoid anything that will make it regurgitate back into the dog.
