The dog may be coming towards he house, but 까지 makes a limit for it in the sentence, meaning the dog comes only up to the house. (If you have seen the Tips and Notes in the 듀오링고 website for verbs, then you would see details for 까지 and others.)
-으로 means towards I believe and we have to follow the sentence translation literally.
In this case 집에서 would mean "comes from home" as in going somewhere else.
You might be hung up on the position of the story teller here, which is irrelavent. The 에 and 에서 markers are more concerned with the transitive direction of the subject: the dog.
Im sorry if im wrong, please downvote if I am but
Instrumental: 에 is basically "IN" Destination: 에 can also mean "TO"
Instrumental: 에서 is "AT" Destination: 에서 can also mean "FROM"
Instrumental: 으로 is "WITH" but not literally. Its something u use if u talking about a specific thing as an instrument example "손" (hand). You wanna talk like ur using your hand right? So you add "으로" making it "손으로" (by hand)
Destination: 으로 can lso mean TOWARDS
집 can mean "house", but it really means the place you live.
Like, here in Korea, my "집" is an apartment. And my old one was a studio apartment or what they call a 원룸 (one room) in South Korea.
If you wanna specify someone's house then you can use [someone's name]의 집. Ex: Sungjae's House can be translated as 성재의 집.
Apparently the first one is towards/up to (meaning the dog will stop at the house) and the second one is to (meaning full destination).
까지 means "until". With a location, it means that it is the destination. You can also use it with time.
에 is just a location marker. Depending on the sentence, it could be like "at", "in", and "to".
