a dog is a consumer because dogs can't produce their own foods. they have to consume (eat) other matter. Dogs are consumers just like humans are. Plants are producers because they can produce their own food.

Is a dog a primary secondary or tertiary consumer?

A dog is typically considered a secondary consumer in the food chain, as it primarily feeds on primary consumers like rabbits or rodents, which are herbivores. In some cases, dogs may also eat plants or fruits, but their role as carnivorous animals places them in the secondary consumer category. However, if a dog were to consume a secondary consumer, it could be classified as a tertiary consumer in that specific instance.

How does consumer's get its energy?

A consumer gets its energy in multiple ways.If the consumer is low on the food chain like a prairie dog it will get its energy from producers, such as grass that use photosynthesis.If the consumer is in the middle of the food chain like a hawk it would get its energy from eating the prairie dog and also gain the leftover energy from the grass the prairie dog ate.Last but not least is if the consumer is high up in the food chain like a coyote.The coyote will get its energy from eating the hawk which in turn will give it leftover energy from the prairie dog. It could also give some energy from the grass to the coyote but that's not very likely. So basically a consumer gets its energy by what it eats. I hope this helped:)
