It does sound natural, but you may find it better not to ask the question this way. If you ask a person "Do you know how to do this?" they will often say yes—since they do not want to admit they don't know the answer.
The better option, is to ask, "Dad, have I shown you how I dress Sasha for a walk?" This way, he does not have to admit he doesn't know how to do it. See what I mean? 🙂

Dad, can you dress Sasha for a walk?
