What did the Sea Dogs do in the Spanish Armada?

The ships weren't superior to those of the Spanish armada. Instead supposedly there was an English wind which made the ship sail faster and the English used that to their advantage. They ended up setting their ships on fire and sent them ramming into the Spanish ships. Due to the wind, by the time the Spanish realized what was happening, it was to late to turn around.

The English fleet of ships had the advantage over the Spanish Armada because?

In the 1588 clash known as the "Spanish Armada", the English had several advantages over their Spanish opponents, and they made full use of them. First, their ships were more numerous, if also less well-armed, than the Spanish contingent. Second, their captains and crews were driven by the desperate need to protect their homeland, not simply win a battle. Third, they were superior sailors in general, and they gained the particular advantage of positioning themselves upwind of the Spanish fleet. Finally, they had luck on their side, as a powerful storm arose in timely fashion to sink or damage many of the Spanish ships.
