I believe the answer is:

yelp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cry of pain' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'i agree about large dog's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'large' could be 'l' (eg in clothes sizes) and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'yep' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yelp that I've seen before include "Short sharp cry or bark" , "Bark like a puppy" , "Cry of pain" , "Short sharp cry (of such as a dog)" , "Sharp shrill cry or bark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
