What Can I Do To Blur Out Everything in This Photo Except the Dog?

I don't have any experience at all with manipulating photos, never got into photoshop or anything like that. I have uploaded this photo onto the LunaPic site and can't figure out what to do with the tools they provide there.

I spend a lot of time just trying to remove everything that's not the dog, but wind up cutting off parts of his fur, etc. I don't care if the background stays blue on top and gray on the bottom, just want to get rid of hands, glasses, and other things that were in the garage at the time.

Any tips on what tools would make this easy? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks Gary, but I'm not even knowledgeable enough to fiddle with something like gimp. I would need exact step by step directions to do anything like that. Years ago I tried to learn on my own and play with stuff like that, and was never successful, technophobe for life I guess.
 
Well, I started with MS-paint
Learned a bit
Then, a fellow member of the poster site we belonged told me about GIMP
Very intimidating at first
But
If you play with (click on) just two tools
Zoom and Smudge
You'll be able to do many things you want
Click on zoom and move your mouse over the pic and left click...magic happens

Click on smudge and move your mouse over the pic and hold the left button down, then scroll...magic happens

Double click those tools for more options, like zooming back out
