Bowserslave | Undertale Snowdin Dogs (Canine Unit) No Damage (Pacifist) @Bowserslave | Uploaded November 2015 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Snowdin Dogs are several minibosses that appear throughout the snow area. Doing a video on just one of them would feel pretty empty so I decided to combine all the one time dog encounters into one video. Thats Doggo, Lesser Dog, Dogi (Dogamy and Dogaressa), and Greater Dog. They're not too complex so we'll speed by each of them.
Doggo
This guy's pretty much your tutorial on blue attacks. Nothing else special. I was curious to see if he had more dialogue if you kept petting him and surprisingly he did. Add that to the hundreds of "nice touch" moments this game has. Just don't move and you'll be fine.
Attempts: First try

Lesser Dog
I didn't wanna keep petting him to prolong the video so I kept going till he stopped attacking. He's a normal encounter, but I believe he only appears once so I figured I would include him in the group as well
Attacks (In order of appearance):
-Pouncing Dog
If you stay still he'll jump early, and then you can just move away and dodge. Just wait for him to jump first and you'll be ok. If you move too early he'll follow you and then jump or even jump backwards if you try to be sneaky
-The Sword thats a Spear
Wait for the blue spear to go past you, and whatever direction that spear came from is where the other spear will appear. Just move with it to the end of the screen and it'll stop. There's plenty of time to react to the attack and just wait for the spear to appear on screen, but it does move fast so be mindful.
Attempts: First Try

Dogi (Dogamy and Dogaressa)
These guys are where you have to start getting intricate with your Act options instead of picking the same one over and over. They're a longer battle than the first two since you could end those after 1 attack, but not much harder.
Attacks (In order of appearance)
-Double Axes
This is more intimidating when you first see the attack for your first time. It makes you think theres a heart shape you can hide in but that's not the case. Just weave back and forth on the bottom so you don't get hit by the ax blades.
-Circle of Hearts
These move very slow so you can back up and find an opening to just move in and out of the circle. You'll only dodge 2 of them so the process is just 4 movements, or even less if you're in a good position
Attempts: First Try

Greater Dog
This guy actually has a spear unlike the others, and is the only one with the dog theme so I guess that's why he's so great. He's the toughest of the bunch, but when the bunch isn't that strong that isn't saying much.
Attacks (In order of appearance)
-Sleeping Annoying Dog
I completely forgot that he doesn't attack you at all if you just stay still. Regardless if you do move the barks aim for where your current position is and not where you're going to be. Take advantage of that and set yourself up before they come out so you can do one smooth motion to dodge both of them.
-Moving Spear
This one can catch you off guard since where it turns blue isn't always the same. Sometimes you can stay still, other times you'll have to move left. I just barely nicked it here and thought I was going to get hit.

With the dogs out the way, we have a bone to pick with the next boss.
