Please help me with the dogs in the workshop

[debfromsandiego]

I have tried REPEATEDLY to kill the dog in the workshop. I have tried to hide from it. I have leaped on some bags. I have crouched. I have not crouched. I have done absolutely everything I can think to do. I have read previous threads but I just can't manage to use the hammer to kill the dog. I have even switched to an easy game. Can someone please HELP! At this point, I am even willing to take a saved game from someone else to get passed this dog if I won't have to face another one. Otherwise, can someone please tell me what to do?
