Gouge eyes, leverage legs behind back puncturing lungs with own ribcage, pocket knife in the neck, all of the above.

That's why you always carry your AR15 around with you when going shopping/out to eat etc.

Never know when you're going to need it.

Shove your finger up its ass. I know, it's hard to pull off when the dog is chewing on your leg, but it works every time.

This has been confirmed to not work. The dog may redirect, and in this case, it may remove its mouth from your legs, and instead bite your hand, which, if not in a fist, may cause you to lose a finger.

ATOT is woefully prepared to deal with dog attacks.

Depends on the size of the dog, but if its anything other than a little yapper i say stomp its head in. I will not tolerate any animal attacking me.

Reverse over it in your car.
Sit on its face.

Light yourself on fire. (Dogs obey the same rules as Ninjas.)

Post a vertical video of the dog biting you onto Youtube.

From what I've heard, the dog's head is pretty tough. Their weakness is their underbelly. You'll want to hit/kick its ribs in.

The dog is biting you in the leg. A bit hard to kick. Punches to the face. Aim for the eyes.

Look, its just logical. Someone shoves an unexpected finger up your evacuation route what are you going to do? You're going to say "oh!" Mouth removed from leg. What happens after that is not my concern.

you'll need to submit. You lost the postural battle for dominance (note: work on your stance of dominance). So you must submit. To do this, get on the ground and expose your belly. The dog will stop.

Surprised to see something this obviously wrong on ATOT. Dogs bite over dominance, not to kill and eat. Submitting in this fashion will actually get the dog to stop, as the fight for dominance is over with your submission.

ATOT advice card: REVOKED!

Shove your finger up its ass. I know, it's hard to pull off when the dog is chewing on your leg, but it works every time.

ATOT: Asserting dominance since about 2008. :biggrin:

Dogs actually have pretty weak jaws. What they have is massive neck and chest muscles. If you keep advancing instead of pulling away, they can't get much purchase. If you can get them off their feet, they're pretty helpless.
