You need to patch two files in src
and recompile guarddog to use it with that kernel.
The guarddog.cpp and guarddogdoc.cpp files must be edited/patched.

Look for the sections in both files that look like below:
(about line 2910 in guarddog.cpp and about line 603 in guarddogdoc.cpp)

# Check for iptables support.
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease ]; then
  KERNEL_VERSION=`sed "s/^\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\).*\$/\1/" < /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.6" ]; then
    KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
  fi;
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.5" ]; then
    KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
  fi;
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.4" ]; then
    if [ -e /sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
    if [ -e /usr/sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
    if [ -e /usr/local/sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
  fi;
fi;

Download source if you have to.
Edit both files to look like below:
(save changes)
Then recompile guarddog.
And install. 

Take a look at VuurMuur and Arno's firewall,
because Guarddog is not being maintained.
This hack will keep you going for a bit till
you can familarize yourself with a different option.

# Check for iptables support.
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease ]; then
  KERNEL_VERSION=`sed "s/^\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\).*\$/\1/" < /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`
 if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.4" ]; then
 KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
 fi;
 if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.3" ]; then
 KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
 fi;
 if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.2" ]; then
 KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
 fi;
 if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.1" ]; then
 KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
 fi;
 if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.0" ]; then
 KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
 fi;
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.6" ]; then
    KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
  fi;
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.5" ]; then
    KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
  fi;
  if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.4" ]; then
    if [ -e /sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
    if [ -e /usr/sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
    if [ -e /usr/local/sbin/iptables ]; then
      FILTERSYS=2
    fi;
  fi;
fi;
