About Dictatorship
In dictatorship, there is a symbolic dictator like Nazi's Hitler. They are not Kings or Emperors or Presidents but they are simply the head of the government. The dictator has supreme power and can make decisions alone without any elections or government interference. This contrast to democracy, so instead of everyone participating, no one participates.
Again, there are two major forms of dictatorship: military dictatorship and single party state. Two easy examples are Korea under the rule of Park Jung Hee in the 1960's and 1970's and China since 1949. Military dictatorship is when the dictator rules with force and terror by abusing the power of the military. On the other hand, a single party state just literally has one party in the government so the leaders are always the same and they naturally rise to dictatorship and gain full control politically.

Dictatorship in Animal Farm
In Animal Farm, Napoleon becomes a dictator after chasing Snowball out of the farm and making all the decision by himself with the dogs to back him up. So in this case you can see a bit of both, military and single party state dictatorship. Napoleon uses the dogs to force the animals to cooperate which Orwell wanted to symbolise the military, but since he chased Snowball out of the farm he is the only party leader in the farm so there is no other leaders.
In the Russian revolution, after Stalin becomes the only leader, he uses the military to force the country to follow his rule and cooperate with his decisions. George Orwell used the dogs to symbolise how Stalin used military and the exile of Snowball to show how Trotsky was also eliminated from politics making Stalin the only leader. Because of the analogy of dogs chasing a pig out of the farm which is very easy to understand, Orwell makes it easier for the readers to understand the flow of events in the Russian revolution, so this is very effective in simplifying the real events.
