I want to know how to kill these guys without dying so I will not lose the dog I currently have just in case if I break my bed (aka spawn point).

Without using commands, I'd say the easiest way to take them down would be with a bow and arrow. This way you kill them from a distance without having to worry about the explosion. If all you have is a sword, you have to employ a hit and run tactic. Run up to it, hit it once, and then quickly run backwards away. If you time it right, you can get far enough away before it explodes. Keep doing this and eventually it will die.
Alternatively, as TylerH points out in the comments, if you can enchant a sword with Knockback, it will significantly help when dealing with them in close combat. Also, making splash potions of harming would be another way to take them out from a distance, although I'm not sure how far you can throw potions.
