The answer

First: The call to prayer () is not obligatory for someone praying alone, rather it is for him. If he raises his voice with it, it is better, otherwise there is no harm.

Second: The passing of dogs through a place does not prevent prayer there, because their mere passing does not render the place impure. The of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) indicates this. The issue of dogs urinating in the mosque has been addressed by stating that it did not happen inside the mosque, or that this was before the ruling on the impurity of dogs, or that it was in the early days before the command to honor and purify mosques.
