How to fight off a dog

[feralkid]

stick a finger up its ass

You should probably buy it dinner, first.

But his teeth are very small!

Edit: NM. I got an infraction the last time I suggested that dogs aren't people and are OK to be killed if they threaten life, body, sanity, peace, or quiet.

Depends on the type of dog really. A minpin isn't going to hurt you, bark as it may. While it's true the paws are sensitive, that won't necessarily help you if the mutt is truly vicious. I've seen a dog that was only part pit bull going nuts trying to attack another dog. He was on a leash, but could barely be held back by the owner. The dog was scraping at the ground trying to move forward, so much so that he broke one of his claws (this would normally hurt like a bitch for a dog). The dog didn't even notice. It would have gladly proceeded to maul the other dog should the owner have let go of the leash. The rest of the time, this dog is a huge baby and cute as can be. You'd have to be pretty strong to overpower it should it really want to harm you.

I can just imagine in what context and how inflammatory your post might have been. Get over it.

Nah, I just suggested that another user could potentially toss poisoned steaks over a fence to take care of a dog that was overly aggressive and disruptive and had owners that refused to do anything about it.

Got attacked by a large dog as a kid, well teenager really, I think I was 12 or 13. Not sure of the breed, looked like some kind of bull terrier mix, it was white with brown spots, square head, square jaw.

It came running at me in an alleyway. When it got close I just punched it right in the face as hard as I could with my fist. The dog went down. I broke two fingers. The dog laid still for a few moments, then got up and walked off - not ran but walked. Never saw it again.

I have been chased by many dogs, some very vicious and I have yet to find one that isn't totally confused by you turning around and chasing it. If I were attacked anyway, I would probably try to gouge the eyes out.

 

[iroast]

and then proceed to sweep chihuahua away with leg. "Shoo, shoo!"

 

[Spikesoldier]

gouge eyes out with thumbs

Have you ever seen police attack dogs in action? They are trained to grab your wrist and whip it behind you to throw you off balance and to the ground. What happens after that is the dog puts his face in your face and awaits his handler. If you move he bites the first thing his mouth touches.

I have heard that the best thing to do is to give up your weak forearm and force it as far back as possible in the dog's mouth, bring your other arm behind the dog's neck and wrench the upper jaw up and over your other arm, breaking the dog's neck. You have one chance and you're putting your face in close proximity to its jaws, but if done correctly it can kill the dog.

I have been seriously attacked a few times by vicious but untrained dogs and was always able to fend them off with quick lateral movements and a few well timed strikes and kicks. Dogs lunge straighforward at you and leap off the ground which makes it hard for them to adjust to lateral movement. Having a big stick or weapon really helps

The only time I was ever attacked by a trained attack dog it was quite different. I was at a christmas party at a friends lumber yard and while pretty drunk and not realizing what I was doing I left the building out the back door into the yard to take a leak not realizing the german shepard that guarded the yard at night had already been released into the yard.
He was on me before I knew what was up and lunged hard right at my throat. Luckily I got my left forearm up and between him and my throat just in time for him to sink his teeth in my forearm. My first instinct was to try and jerk my arm back and he hung on for all he was worth and this just caused him to rip a huge gash in my forearm but he was still locked onto me. At that point I grabbed him by the throat with my right hand and squeezed with all my might and was trying furiously to rip his windpipe out. Thats basically all I remember before I passed out from loss of blood.

The owner and several others came running out upon hearing the commotion and said by that time the dog had released from my arm and was laying on the ground gasping for air and I was passed out in a pool of blood. Was a very bad night . I ended up with an ambulance ride and getting 40 something stitches in my left forearm, and despite attempts to save him the dog died later that night at the vets office. Moral of that story was I was extremely lucky to have survived. If I hadn't been just quick enough to get my forearm up he would have surely ripped my throat out and killed me. And if there hadn't been people their to find me quickly and stop the bleeding and get an ambulance I would have bled to death.

PS. I felt so bad about the stupidity of my actions and the resulting loss of a good dog that I took care of getting the guy a new fully trained dog.
And the owner boarded and chained the back door for all future christmas parties to prevent another drunk idiot from repeating my mistake. Almost 30yrs later and I still have a light scar that runs almost the length of my forearm to remind me not to mess with guard dogs.

You give them your weak arm to clamp to, then you upper cut them in the throat. Humans are quite a bit faster when it comes to our fast twitch muscle fibers than dogs are, you can fire off one hell of an upper cut before even a decent sized dog is able to do real damage. One shot to the throat and they are done. btw this will kill the animal.

Uhhh, bullshit. Apparently you having seen certain breeds of dogs fighting. Feck... even Jack Ass Terrors are lighting fast. Toss a couple of treats in the air and watch them close the distance.

Yeah sorry, we're faster. I know it's hard to believe, but it is true.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hard to tell, but think what I'd probably do is just try to kick it the hardest I can as it approaches me, and hope I don't miss or fall over.

If I could find an object around me I would probably pick it up and try to wack it with it.

I'm an animal lover and would not want to hurt an animal but if it's a self defense situation then I will use all force available to me.

Realistically if I saw a dog running at me I would not really know if it wants to attack me or just play, so I'd probably just wait last minute and either just try to stop it, or pet it and hope it just wants to play. By the time I realize it actually wants to kill me, it would probably be too late.

Wow, helluva story. Glad you survived, a shame the owner didn't have his shepherd inside or at least in a fenced in area.

Do what this guy did:

Yeah I'm shocked you paid for a new guard dog. That was like 25% your fault 75% owners fault.

Umm no. 100% the dog owner's fault for not tying up his animal with invited guests on his property. I'm sure any court of law would have seen it this way too. Kudos to GuitarDaddy for helping out with a new guard dog. I'm sure it was a shitty situation for all involved.
