How exactly are we supposed to kill K9 dogs in COD MW2?

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, K9 units (dogs) appear in some of the missions and the campaign. I sometimes manage to shoot and kill the K9 before it reaches me, but if that fails, the K9 jumps to me and I fall to the ground. In that scenario, the instruction is to press T (melee attack) to snap the neck of the K9, which seems pretty straightforward.
However, in reality this rarely seems to work. I have tried pressing T once once the K9 jumps and I fall to the ground, but to no avail. Then I pressed the T after 'Press T' warning appeared, again didn't work. Then I tried spamming the T key, which didn't work either.
Is there a specific time and a number of presses of the T key are we supposed to follow, in order to kill the K9?
Best Answer
I believe you are talking about the campaign. I found out that if they are running at you, just shoot the K9 dogs. But if they jump on you, just mash the button on screen to snap its neck. But make sure you mash the button the moment they jump on you, or else it will be too late to kill them that way.

How do you kill the shepherd in Modern Warfare 2?
Dogs can be called in by a player as a 7-killstreak in the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: World at War. The dogs spawn and attack enemy players on the map for 60 seconds. Friendly dogs appear as German Shepherds and enemy dogs appear as black Belgian Shepherd Malinois.What does the dog do in cod?
To get a dog in Modern Warfare, you have to reach Tier 20 of the Season 3 Battle Pass. This will reward you with the Top Dog finishing move, featuring Riley from Call of Duty: Ghosts. This finishing move can be applied to any Operator, making it one of the few non-specific executions in Modern Warfare.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
