Hi Alok,
I am facing the same problem with the MOV file. Anyway, I had a look at your reel on youtube then fnally.

What your animation lacks overall is a sense of timing and arcs mostly.

1. The somersault. Improve on the arcs and the timing here. Anticipate before going in for the leap. And once he lands, cushion the action.

2. For the second one, the hitting action is too fast. Especially considering the fact, that the overall action is going on in slow motion.

3. The creature lacks weight. In fact, its almost floating. Check the arcs. Let the doors open with a bang to have that impact of something huge behind them. Let it anticipate for sometime before it leaps. Make the leap's arc more longer. So, basically just let him let him leap outta the frame. Overall, every part of the body seems to move individually. Let something lead and the rest of the body follow.

4. The walk overall looks okay. Exccept for the fact, that there is a jerk on the left elbow and also on the right knee. Maybe it has something to do with the loop. Just check if the first and the last frame of the walk match.

5. Let the dog anticipate more before jumping. Improve the arc on the leap. Let him slide more after landing. Add eases. When he gets up, check the hands should be planted on the ground.

Alright then, hope this helps out. All the best to ya!

Cheers!
