Just have a stroll around and as soon as you see one you can track them on your Pokedex area thing the legendary dogs will only appear randomly...

Catching the Legendary Dogs
there is alot of ways to catch em
So you want a legendary dog? Here's how to get one: First, make sure your Pokémon is fast enough to attack one. Second, DO NOT USE MEAN LOOK! THEY KNOW ROAR! They will roar you out if you use Mean Look. Instead, focus on Lovely Kiss, Spore, and other sleep moves.

Once entering the burned tower and the three statues coming to life and running away the legendary dogs are on the loose. They can ONLY BE FOUND IN THE JOHTO REGION so don’t go looking around kanto you’ll have no luck. Another note they ONLY APPEAR IN GRASS not in caves or anything else. The dogs have random locations that change every time you enter a building, cave, change route (or city) or fly somewhere. The first time you see one of the dogs will be purely by luck, your even lucky to see one in the entire game (I’ve seen two mind you). Tracking them is quite hard cause when you go and fly to where they are their gone. The best thing to do is buy a couple of super repels and wait around a route like the route near the moo moo farm which only has one patch of grass or routes 30 and 31 which you can go between without entering a building aor anything. Keep moving between routes or entering and exiting a building until one of them is in your area. Then use a couple of repels to make sure you don’t have any wild encounters. Once you run into them have a high speed pokemon at the front equipped with the quick claw put them to sleep. Attack until you get their health to the tiniest bit then start chucking pokeballs (fast balls are good also). If the dog runs away don’t worry it will be on the same amount of health next time you run into it. SAVE OFTEN. There you go happy hunting.
