'''Guard dogs''' are animals that can be found in various man-made locations. For lower-level players, guard dogs can be tough to defeat with melee, due to their fairly high melee accuracy. They can be slain towards a dog [[Slayer assignment]], but [http://oldschoolrunescape.wikia.com/wiki/Jackal Jackals] may be much easier.
A '''guard dog''' is an aggressive [[dog]]. Guard dogs drops [[bones]]. They can be slain for a 'dog' [[Slayer]] task assigned by a [[slayer master]], yielding 49 Slayer experience per kill. For lower-level players, guard dogs can be tough to melee, as they can hit frequently, but these players can easily attack them from safe spots using ranged, magic, or long-range melee weapons like [[halberd]]s. One safe spot is through the fence of the northeast side of the [[McGrubor's Wood]] (2). Another spot is behind the mushrooms located on the south-west corner of the wood. Players wielding a halberd can safely attack them from any side of the fence. The dogs respawn fairly quickly, so only 2-3 dogs that are close together will be sufficient to fulfil a slayer task.

Guard dogs are animals that can be found in various man-made locations. For lower-level players, guard dogs can be tough to defeat with melee, due to their fairly high melee accuracy. They can be slain towards a dog Slayer assignment, but Jackals may be much easier.

The guard dogs by the fruit stalls at Xeric's Glade will only become aggressive if they detect a player trying to steal from the stalls. When they do, they will bark "Woof! Woof! Woof!" and proceed to attack.

Guard dogs may also be purchased at level 74 Construction to guard a player's Dungeon.
