No, mostly because dogs don't climb so they don't have the mental tools to twist themselves around during a long fall. To be fair, cats also don't always land on their feet, although they do so more often than not.

Generally not - dogs don't climb, so they have no evolutionary drive to right themselves when they are falling.
