Dog! How to Tase Dog

Tasing Dog — the clutch survivor skill

The taser is the S-tier equalizer on the traps tier list and the direct path toward the Taze Dog badge. This guide focuses on charge timing, angles, and what your team does after the hit. It assumes you already know lobby basics from getting started and general survival from how to survive.

Corrupted Dog gameplay with taser and keys

What a good tase achieves

• Hard interrupt on Dog’s chase
• Window to finish a key interact
• Window to open or cross an exit
• Window to revive or regroup
• Badge progress when the hit counts

A tase that hits while nobody progresses is still useful for reset — but the best stuns are booked with a plan.

Charge timing fundamentals

Treat the taser like a committed ability, not a panic click:

1. Pre-charge as Dog enters your audio range if the weapon needs spin-up.
2. Hold the angle on a doorway, stair mouth, or corner Dog must slice.
3. Release on commit — when Dog’s path is locked into your frame.
4. Do not chase whiffs into open rooms; reset behind a prop and re-arm.

If you empty charge on a feint, Dog learned your timing. Wait longer next peek. Killer feints are covered in how to play as Dog — read both sides.

Best arenas to tase

Spot	Why it works	Risk
Doorframe	Narrow commit	Dog shoulder-peeks
Stair head	Vertical choke	Bear trap friendly for allies
Exit mouth	Protects extract	High Dog priority
Key room lip	Saves progress	You may be mid-objective

Wide carnival-scale lanes are worse for first learns; practice in house/lab corridors first. Prison finale stairs on chapter 8 are premium taser real estate — see chapter walkthrough.

Team follow-ups after a stun

Call tased once, then:

• Key carrier finishes the interact.
• Trap player arms the retreat path.
• Third player body-blocks or prepares exit.

Do not stack three people punching the stunned Dog for meme value while the gate idles.

Solo-queue taser plan

Without reliable teammates:

1. Progress first until Dog commits to you.
2. Lead toward a pre-chosen doorway.
3. Stun and immediately resume objective or exit — you are your own follow-up.
4. Spend Coins from codes on the taser path before flex skins.

Badge: Taze Dog

Focus a session on clean hits rather than escapes alone. Custom friend lobbies help warm timing without public shame. Fair play only — auto-aim scripts from the Scripts hub can ban you and do not teach charge reads.

Common whiff causes

• Firing on feint peeks
• Sprinting while trying to track horizontally at max sens
• Tasering in open fields with three escape vectors
• Holding charge so long you get hit first
• Celebrating early and eating the post-stun revenge

Lower sens slightly if your crosshair shakes off Dog’s silhouette mid-commit.

Combining taser with bear traps

Ideal pattern: bear trap on the stair Dog will retreat through, taser on the entry. Even if the stun lands soft, the retreat tax still pays. Avoid planting where you must sprint after the shot.

Mind games

• Show taser, hide, swap angles.
• Fake empty hands then reveal charge on the second peek.
• Save charge for exit even if a mid-map stun looks juicy.

Dogs who read this guide will bait you — vary timing.

Practice routine

1. Ten doorway holds in customs.
2. Ten stair holds.
3. Five exit-mouth holds with a friend racing the gate.
4. One public night where you only take high-percentage angles.

Log hit rate. If you are under a mental 40%, you are taking ego fights — shrink your arenas.

Tase for time, not for pride. Every clean hit should buy a key, a gate, or a life — that is how Dog! survivors turn horror into an exit screen.
