"Anchor" is somewhat of a vague term, but that's what they use to set
bricks.

should I put some anchors to tie blocks to concrete?


If you're in an earthquake zone code might require it.

How is this typically
done?


As cheap as possible.

I think you may planning a project more than a tad beyond your level
of expertise. Unless you're building the most structurally
significant doghouse on the planet I don't think laying block is a DIY-
type thing.
