Help with dogs?

[jtcLIVE]

I'm getting REALLY pissed with fighting dogs, because i can never stun them and they always just do a grab move on me and drain me of my health, and i can't fight more than one. So, fighting them on the balcony is just impossible, so i need advice.

How can i kill the dogs easily? i am using an xbox one controller.

In the balcony area, after blowing the whistle, you will just fight the dog with the collar. The other dog only gets attracted by loud noises, hence it won't appear unless you fire any weapon.

Mate, this is a 4 year old post....

Safe to say I figured it out and I can easily kill dogs now LOL

The info provided by these generous posters is useful for other players besides yourself.

Its considered bad etiquette to bump a multiple year old thread. Better for others to start a new one if they have questions.

Since the topic is already out... I'm surprised anyone wasted ammo on dogs. I knife them all.. I mean ALL of them. There is no need to use ammo on dogs. Sure, they will bite you, but they don't do a lot of damage and you will find a gazilion green herbs in the game anyway.. Take damage is never an issue.. wasting ammo can be.
In the balcony, if you use the knife you will fight one at the time as the second dog won't come and will stay wondering by himself on the other side.

Hey Mr. Vermintide Pro, I know it's 8 years too late, but I thought you might be interested to know that the trick to killing a dog with melee-only in a 100% full genocide (kill everything with CQC only + no defensive items + max difficulty) run without getting grabbed (kick-boxes do negligible damage and aren't realistically dodgable) is to:

1. Get ~5 feet from a wall and run directly away from the angle that the dog is approaching you (towards the wall).

2. When he whiffs, run *slightly* at a 30 degree angle to either side of the dog.

3. Horizontal swipe with the knife.

4. Sprint parallel to the angle of the dog's counter-attack then rinse and repeat.

The reason you must be near a wall is because it slightly affects the dog's pathing such that he takes a slight moment longer to U-turn and run away from you, allowing for the swipe to connect more often. Otherwise you will usually miss.

When sprinting parallel away from a dog, it will always miss its lunge attacks (but it will land kick-boxes, so you will have to accept some emotional damage).

This is an example of an early dog I use to practice this method on (he is right next to a save point):

P.S. You must be very precise about your positioning and timing in (Step 2). If you end your swing too close to the center of the dog, you will be grabbed, but if you spend too long of a moment positioning for the swing you will probably miss.

P.S.S. I know this is a shameless bump, but everybody loves dog-fu fighting.
