When you say dogfish, i'm thinking you're refering to spiney dogfish, the one that looks just like a shark but with no teeth. I might also add, great eatting.
The way I usually skin a shark is by simply filleting the skin off. It takes a little practice to become good at it, but once you do it's as quick as filleting the fish itself.
I've heard of people skinning them the same way you would a catfish, however, I can nor confirm or deney the reliability of this method on sharks.
The method i'm reffering to is cutting around the head, fins and belly; then, while utilizing a pair of good pliers, starting at the head and pulling the skin down ward towards the tail. This works very well on catfish, and as coarse as a sharks skin is, I imagine it would work just as well on them. Mind you, i've not tried this on sharks, maybe someone else has and can give a little input.
