it means a lot of things... usually a derogatory name for a sketchy seedy type of guy...

If someone said "Jill, don't date Steve, he is such a dog!" they would probably mean he's the type of sleezy guy that will say anything to get laid... I think the imagery is of a dog that humps anyones leg...

or if you saw a group of guys making fun of one of the guys in the group about something, you may say "they are really dogging on that guy." I beleive the connotation is that of a pack of dogs surrounding another dog getting ready to attack. In this case it isn't used to refer to an actual attack, but of hurling insults.

it can be used other ways but generally it refers to people acting uncivilized like an animal...

in reference to Resevoir Dogs, the writer/director named it that more because it sounded cool than out of any real meaning.
Sleeping Dogs may be in reference to the idea that if you mess w a sleeping dog long enough it will eventually wake up and bite... I havent played it yet though so I don't know.

Yes, "Sleeping Dogs" is a reference to the phrase "let sleeping dogs lie" ... in the game, your character stirs up the sleeping dogs by returning to Hong Kong and infiltrating a Triad, setting off a big chain of events and shaking up a lot of things in the city.

In reference to the title of "sleeping dogs" it likely refers to the expression "let sleeping dogs lie" which basically means "leave it the hell alone or bad things will go down."

In the context of the game, like Twig said the character is stirring up a whole lot of sleeping dogs when he goes back to HK and starts mucking about in the triads as an undercover cop.
