If you work from home but you don't have a dedicated office you're doing it wrong.

I get a running commentary on everything, the weather, the mail, the amount of mail, whats in my mail. I get lots of coffees but they are my only break, so now I don't even have an excuse to leave my desk.
I'm also being told that I'm not giving the dog enough attention. I'm also now the default IT support for her mac.
I've tried explaining to her that I'm working and it's similar to her walking in on a colleague and just talking to them.
What can i do?

Sometimes its OK, depending on what I'm doing.
Separate rooms obviously helps.
Good Luck

But I'm thinking of converting the garage to an office. Get a cheaper garage in the side garden and have it as a garage/gym. Only thing is I can't use the company money to convert the garage. And have a long list of things that need doing on the house before the garage.

You can get a proper insulated timber framed garden office with all mod cons for £10-15k (though I'm currently seriously contemplating going down the self-build route - they aren't that complicated to build).
