Officers said the man resisted arrest when they arrived and one officer was injured during a struggle.
A Taser was then used, police said, but it was ineffective and the man fled on foot.
He was tracked by a police dog to a backyard shed a short distance away and taken into custody.
The 33-year-old Saskatoon man was treated by paramedics for dog bite injuries and taken to detention.
He is charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property, assaulting a police officer, and failing to comply with two court release documents.
Police said the injured officer was taken to hospital for assessment.
