Mmm, all I can tell ya is to study their structure.
 Look at tutorials, their skeletons, muscle systems, and joints.
I can say that paws and legs are a bit difficult, I still haven't yet mastered them.
Practice, practice, practice.

I look at other people's art and try to draw in their style, I look at them while drawing.

Just draw them, and draw them a lot. I always improve just by looking at my own artwork, and seeing what doesn't look right.

Also, look at other people's artwork. Of course, never trace or copy their artwork, but just look at them and notice what things they have done. Or, look up tutorials for certain things, like drawing fur, anatomy, etc.

It's difficult to explain in word, but here are some tutorials that might help you out.

Draw, alot. Don't get scared if you make some mistakes just continue to draw, don't always draw the same thing try something new, watch tutorials and make sure to sketch.

I started off by copying from pictures (don't upload the copies somewhere, you'll get people mad at you for it), then slowly sketching out my own pictures.

As it has been suggested to you already, draw.. Just draw a lot and practice. Nobody ever starts  with their first drawing perfect (Unless you cheat and trace).
But a user on DA has done many tutorials for just about every aspect of drawing.
Check TamberElla's stuff.
I've learned a lot from her tutorials.
Here's an example showing different shading on canine subjects.

I've found plenty of useful Feline tuts among her works, unfortunately she doesn't have much canine stuff though.. But if you asked her, maybe she might be kind enough to do a tut for canines. Otherwise search Google even for pictures of actual canine subjects as you'll get to observe actual anatomy and color patterns etc.

Just like the previous people said, look at references and practice. I did this with my birds, and I improved the more I drew them. I originally SUCKED at the wings and feet, but now I can get them more accurate. Now I can draw them fairly well without a reference picture. I can even draw Latias and Latios--and their Mega forms--without looking at the official artwork, and when I compare my drawing to the official one, I get practically nothing off. Hopefully, this will work for you. :)

1. Study their structure.

2. Study other people's way of drawing them. Don't copy them, though.

3. Believe in yourself.

4. Keep self-assesing, seeing what you could do better-- or what is done really well.

This goes for any drawing tbh
