"Fanfictions copy canon information and envelope it in headcanons. Toby is doing the same oftentimes, which is why he said that his tweets aren't canon."

Seems we're both in agreement on why the tweets are considered "non-canon"-They're just as "canon" as fanfiction.

"But this doesn't change the fact that even though it's one big joke, the annoying dog became canonical in the game."

Yes it does. Your only evidence that the dog represents Toby comes from one of these noncanonical sources-Sources that can be disregarded, because they aren't canon. Once again, don't look outside the game for secrets. For example, Sans is not Ness. Therefore, the dog representing Toby is now a mere headcanon, with no real evidence nailing it down. If you think you can find proof within the game that Toby as the Annoying Dog is indeed canon, I'd like to see it. (If it exists, that is.)

Using non-canon sources as evidence towards canon sources? That's where we got the theory that Sans is Ness! The artbooks can only be used as arguments on the development of the game, not the story itself. (When did it come out, by the way? Before or after v1.006?)
