Having had some problems with the Capra Demon myself the first time around, and having seen a lot of posts online about the Capra Demon being fairly hard, I decided to post a strategy on how to kill him.
First off, let me say this isn't going to be comprehensive where I tell you all of his attacks and movements. Capra Demon has an extremely easy to exploit piece of terrain in his enclosure, but the start of his fight happens to be designed to overwhelm you and prevent you from doing any analysis of what you can use to your advantage.
At the start of the fight, one of the hounds that rush you is on a big staircase to the left of the area, the other is hiding in some shadows by some barrels at the back right and will take a little longer to join in.
You're going to want to eliminate the dogs as fast as you can and get onto the staircase (sometimes you'll have to make your way onto the stairs and eliminate them from there.) Once on the staircase, if the Capra Demon follows you up, jump off and make sure he follows you. Run back up and either start blasting him with ranged attacks from the edge of the stairs, or Gold Pine Resin your weapon and perform a plunging attack on him. Repeat until he's dead.
Generally he either gets stuck, or slowly makes his way back to the foot of the stairs and then up, giving you ample time to blast him/jump off and lure him away from your safe zone.
He's amazingly easy, but only once you've had a good chance to see how to outsmart him, pretty much like all of the bosses in this game, and they're all designed to keep you from seeing their weaknesses by pressing the attack.
Good luck and good demon hunting.
