Yes, I hope so. Many dogs' lives have been saved this way. With a dog who has become unconscious and unresponsive after being pulled from water, it's also a good idea to angle the dog's body with the head lower than the back end. (So that water can come out easily.)
By the way, I think that dog in the video was okay to start with. I saw a lip-licking thing going on after the man had demonstrated the breath technique. What a perfect dog -to lie so still during the demonstration!
Also this is a better video and gives a few more important details. The woman doing this demonstration recommends 15 chest compressions (not five):
