    She has two modes. One you can send out in a straight line to directly bite and hold survivors. The dog can curve around objects, go through windows and pallets but she is buggy so its not consistent. You can also shoot the dog in another direction at any point during the attack or at the end of it for a skillful bite.

    Then she has her hunt mode where the dog goes to specified location. You can aim it at generators specifically and the dog will leave a path. If you follow this path you will gain a hefty speed boost to reach your location quicker. If the dog detects a survivor they are afflicted with houndsense which causes them to glow brightly red and enter deep wounds when injured.

    If you're ever confused about a killers power, jist hover over their power in the in-game pre-lobby. They can also be looked up online along with helpful videos going more in-depth than what the game can. I really hoped this helped.

    As our friend aleady explained, she has two powers search and hunt. You can switch with crl.

    Search is mainly to send the dog to the location you want to go to. The dog runs to the location and creats the Orange path, if you go with the path you are rlly fast and easly get to the wanted location, but the speed is lost wien entering a chase.

    Hunt is the Power used in chase. Holding the Power Shows you the path the dog will go. (Very bugy at the Moment be carefull). If you send the dog and a survivor happens to be in the path, He drags the survivor to you. If you miss you can deside to switch to your dog and make another dash.
