I would like to improve the overall Sharpness/Clarity/Quality of this shot, and others like it, though I'm not 100% certain what is the best way to do so.
Ideally, I am hoping there is a way I can change my settings or my processing, rather than my equipment ( as obviously, it's a fair bit cheaper if there's something I can do myself)
Here's what I am shooting with.

Is there anything that I can do to improve these shots, with the equipment that I have?

Here's what I am shooting with.
Equipment
- Canon 60D
- 17-55 f/2.8
Settings
- iso 1250 - 3200
- f/2.8 - f/3.2
- 1/100 - 1/250 (depending on if moving or stationary)
- servo - centre weighted metering
- Shot at 55mm & Cropped.
- Edited in Lightroom
Location
- Indoors
- Usually a mix of random skylights, and strip lights.
- At a fixed distance away ( can't get closer/change angle due to restrictions on where you can stand)
Reasoning
- at f/2.8 I found it to be a tad too shallow DOF for this particular large subject, though I do use it on others.
- 1/100 is the minimum I like to shoot while handholding the camera on a moving subject, as I find if the dog moves it's leg or head, I get motion blur.
- NO FLASH is allowed. It's against KC rules, and you can be removed for using it.
- This was shot at 55mm and cropped, not ideal but my 55-250 stm at f/4.0 is no good.
