Sorry to be an @rse, but I always understood that dogs are really for felling big trees, when cross-cutting , the weight of the saw and sharp chain should do the work. Lots of people remove the dogs completely. I get it though, you may want some metal there to protect the saw/muffler etc.

Its ok . You can be an @rse if you want . 🙂 Seriously though , if you have a sharp chain you can use those dawgs/dogs/bumper spikes to your advantage . They act as a lever and you can get through what you are cutting , be it felling , cross cutting fire wood , or whatever faster . Mechanical advantage .
