Don't show him the noob way. If he doesn't get it done how it was supposed to be done, he will get rekt by every other enemy in the game.

[JOEJOH]

Nah, he'll be fine. He'll get better either way.

Neither Taurus nor Capra a technically necessay if you have the master key. Level up your character and weapons, then come back to him later.

I'd agree that Capra demon is one of the harder bosses in the game, he's typically the first boss I fail to one-shot during playthroughs. While he's not "required" if you have the master key, not everyone has the master key and thus must fight him. My recommendation would be to make a dash for the stairs - The dogs are much faster than him, so if you can separate Capra from the attack dogs, you can kill the adds relatively easily and focus the boss down later. He's also weak to fire, so if you have Pyromancy spells or Firebombs, they work particularly well on him and have the benefit of being at range. Hope this helps, I'm working on him as well now that I have the PC version of the game.

kill dogs om stairs then kill demon.
remeber this boss is actualy easy if you lvl up little

I found that some good armour helped, so I didn't get immediately floored if he or his hounds hit me. Capra's not necessary, but he is a good lesson and I don't think you can a certain weapon upgrade item unless you kill him.

POISE IS YOUR FRIEND, for those who want to melee Capra and are not good at dodging yet but do not get into the fat roll trap with it.

The so called "noob glitch" is not a glitch.. None of the Ninja ways of killing the bosses are.

They were purposfully added in for those players that like to ninja beasties by the developers hence the reason why NONE have been patched. Its the reason why you get the required items nearby to do the ninja'ing. Pies near Capra, a certain long range bow near Sif, they are obscure hints and a common theme in From Soft games even back in Kingsfields days, a Certain spell needed to make the kill on a kraken easier, from complete safety.

There are other Ninja opertunities aswell, one in the additional content, no item there though, as they know you will already have all you need by then, Dwain "The Rock" Johnson, down at the bottem of a tower, all the Mimics, fire bombing Giant at the top of Sens and also for some normal beasties that reappear, example here being the two Silver Knight Archers in Lando Calrissian.

Again they were purposfully added in for the intelligent player that likes to think of alternate sneaky and tactical ways of defeating enemies. Like any Special Forces would.

Conversly they also added in beasties you can not ninja at all even though they are in the easiest ninja position to do so and require no thought to do so about your position etc. Examples are:-

Crow Demons come to mind. Only two can be Ninja'd ALL the others are immune untill they spot you.

Iron Golem is another.

So this tells us the developer's already had algorythms in place to stop ninjaing if they had so wished.

There are several ways to deal with Capra.
Grounds rules are:
-be quick or be dead (fast roll is your friend)
-first few seconds decide weather you'll win or die
-get to high ground as possible
-once on top kill doges one by one. block if capra gets on your toes.
-plunge attack on capra, run up, rinse repeat

If the goal is to ring the Bells of Awakening, then you can go through Blighttown swamp and skip Capra and The Depths for the lower bell with the master key. You can also run past Havel (or take him on if you're so inclined) and skip Taurus by going through Darkroot and back to Parish for the upper bell.

Without the master key you will need to kill Taurus to reach Parish and the upper bell. After that you could make your way to Darkroot and run through Valley of the Drakes to Blighttown. Once you grab the New Londo key, then your shortcut back to Firelink will be opened without the master key.
