Can dogs percieve the 60 Hz flickering of a light bulb?

I learned today that human stop perceiving flickering of a light source above 55Hz. I also learned that dogs can percieve that flickering up to 80Hz.

Does that mean that every night when I turn my lights on, which flicker at 60Hz, my dog thinks he is living in an insane strobe-light madhouse?

Depends on what kind of lights you have. Tungsten filament bulbs don’t really flicker very much, since the filament stays hot between the peaks. Fluorescent bulbs flicker a lot more, but they don’t go completely black. Some LED bulbs have DC converters inside, so they stay solid, but ones that just run on the AC from the mains usually go black half the time, so your dog would probably see that.
