First you should determine if the dog is in danger. Tylenol is sometimes given to dogs as a medicine, but an overdose is toxic, just like with people. The LD50 (dose that kills 50% of animals that receive it) for Tylenol is a little over 1000 mg / kg in dogs. If you know how much the dog ate, divide the dose in mg by your dog's weight in kg. If the number is close to 1000, then your dog is in danger of dying (I would be concerned if it was over 500, but I can't find an LD10 number for acetaminophen in dogs so can't say for sure).
In a 1994 study published in the Journal of American Veterinary Medicine, acetaminophen toxicosis may occur in dogs after ingestion of 150 mg/kg (~2 regular strength tablets/10 lb dog) or in cats after only 50-60 mg/kg (~1 regular strength tablet/cat). In dogs, lethargy, anorexia, abdominal pain, and vomiting may occur acutely with recovery in 48-72 hours in mild to moderate cases. In more severe cases, liver damage, jaundice , weight loss, and death may ensue. In cats, anorexia, hypersalivation, and vomiting may occur within 1-2 hours postingestion progressing to depression, cyanosis, dyspnea, facial swelling, and death
If your dog overdosed, take it to the vet immediately. There are treatments for Tylenol poisoning, but they need to be administered quickly - the longer you wait the less effective the treatment will be.
If for some reason you absolutely can't go to the vet, buy some milk thistle extract, standardized for silymarin content, from the drug store and give it to the dog - maybe around 800mg of silymarin. Milk thistle extract is quite effective at protecting the liver and will limit damage, but again, it would have to be administered quickly.
