Or flip the power button on your flash and auto-ETTL that shit...
It's not difficult to nail your exposure in any situation 95% of the time.
I agree with BB. Learning to nail exposure consistently is just the basics. Most photographers can pick this up within 1 year of shooting. Baddog has been shooting for a long time now, and I have seen some fairly consistent exposure issues that could be corrected with some minor attention to these details.

I do enjoy looking at your images when you post them on here. I do agree with xenigo that you can set up your cam on manual fairly fast for outdoors and fix the exposure quickly as well as needed. A tiny bit of post would be nice as well, all of the pictures have a film to it straight out of the camera.
I have stated this a million times but I am no pro just someone who loved my camera when I had it. Here are a few personal shots I took outside of my dogs. they aren't the best but an example of manual with a little bit of post. I think the colors on some of these turned out pretty nice. This also goes up with what you said about having to take shots quickly since they are dogs and don't listen to me well at all when its photo time XD.
Forgiv the quality of the pics, I grabbed them from Facebook in Lou of looking around my hard drives for them. These were taken with an old 40d, my first camera a couple months after I got it.
Best of luck, I enjoy your work and cant wait to see where you end up next
