Steps to Reproduce

1. Play as The Houndmaster
2. Send the Dog on a Chase dash
3. Wait for the Control Dog timer to run out
4. As it's ending, take control of the Dog

Explanation

When playing as The Houndmaster, taking control of the Dog as the timing window for taking control is ending will cause the Killer player to stop moving and their camera will fly to the dog, spin in a circle to match the Dog's PoV, and then immediately cancel itself without giving the Player even a millisecond of an opportunity to attempt to send the Dog out for the second dash, and send the camera flying back to the Killer while continuing to spin in circles. This causes the Killer to be completely unable to use their power, forces them to stop moving, and causes incredible nauseating motionsickness.
