If you guys remember my thread, where I was a thief and i screwed up because I didn't get the Drake Sword and I started over, I'm now at Sen's Fortress.
Read the Wiki. I had trouble with this guy too, but I beat him in 4-5 tries.
As you come in, make sure you dodge his slamming attack (he puts both his swords together). it cannot be dogded with a shield because he hit over you. Once that's done, run up the stairs/try to juke him out by dodging another attack (possibly in the space under the platform that the stairs lead to).
Run up the stairs once he's juked out and wait for the dogs to come. (They run really, fast, Demon should be walking towards you).
After the dogs charge at you, jump, and bite (they jump really far), hit 'em with the sword. It will kill them in 1 hit with the Drake Sword.
Sometimes, they dodge your strike (never seen this happen in the boss fight) and if you can't get both of them to jump you at once, don't panic. Simply juke the demon again and repeat.
Once the dogs are done, juke the demon out again. Try to juke him next to the stairs near the platform. If you can, jump off the platform and stab him from above. If you can't simply drop down (he'll try to swing at you once from this area sometimes, other times he just goes up the stairs). When you drop down, he'll most likely miss, and you can land some quick shots on him before he tries to slam you with his swords put together.
If he manages to go up the stairs, wait for him to get near to start an attack. What will usually happen is that he'll follow your body when you jump off the platform, but will be out of range, and will instead slide off the stairs as he swings, making him slam into the ground, stunned for a second.
NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT! He sometimes CAN hit you while you are running up the stairs! His swords are big enough to catch you there, so watch out!
