'How to catch fish?' 'Attack with dogs' (4)

I believe the answer is:

bait

I believe this is a double definition.

'how to catch fish?' is the first definition.

'attack with dogs' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for bait that I've seen before include "Food used as lure" , "Lure; deliberately taunt" , "Tempt" , "A lure to catch fish" , "Taunt; enticement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
