I mean, did they seriously just toss the dog?

Honestly, given the tokusatsu editing, it's impossible to say for sure. That is, in principle, the dog could do everything himself, and the parts were simply cut out. On the other hand, simply tossing a dog is easier, faster and cheaper, because you don?t have to bother with training. By the way, you need to look at the credits. If a trainer is indicated, and even more than one, then most likely the dog did everything himself, and this is simply a fraud in the editing.
P.S. Although this still cannot be compared with killing horses for battle scenes. But Toei is guilty of animal cruelty anyway because of the goldfish killed in Obake Telemonja.
P.P.S. Also, in most of the scenes in old movies where the dog urinates, the dog's paw is actually lifted with a rope and water is sprayed on it.
