Fighting a dog

As a former Police Dog Handler I'd suggest the best method is to simply choke the dog off. Feel for and grasp it's windpipe and squeeze. Believe me, once it realises it can't breathe it'll let go pretty quickly ;)

I shall remember this tip. It might come in handy sometime in the future.

Well that guy in australia fired 25 shots and hit it 5 times, with an accuracy rate of 20% it's not suprising they didn't hit any vital areas. And if your using a tiny caliber it doesn't help either. It wouldn't take 5 shots from a .50 thats for sure.

20% is pretty poor, though the shooter was probably very nervous and a bad shot.

Throw sand in its eyes and sit on it or german suplex it if it latched onto my arm.


(On a serious note though)
While reading the first page I sort of thought how nasty it would be if the dog went for your groin instead. Not the weeman though, the soft "i submit" flesh on the inside of your legs. I cant even imagine how much pain that would be.
 
Run away? Climb a tree? LOL.

You cannot out-sprint a dog. You cannot climb like a monkey. The dog will have your hamstrings the moment you turn your back.

Face it, grab a weapon, shout as loudly as you can, and then beat it in the face with whatever weapon you grabbed. (Size 12 boots make good weapons as a last resort.)

Stay upright. Scream loudly. Brandish something like a maniac. Brandish it vigourously in the specific direction of Fido's chops. (Not your wang.) Hope for help. The second you're down you've had it unless you're Fedor.

Haven't I already told you nutters this? ;P

So you are saying as soon as you are down and now in a wrestling match with it, you should give up and die? Have we honestly become total wimps? I've seen men having to ask permission from their girlfriends/wives to spend their own money, but this takes the biscuit. :D

If the dog takes you down and you are now grappling with it, all rules are out of the window and you can bite, scratch, gouge, pull, punch any part of that dog that you can. Even if it means taking chunks of flesh out of the dogs legs. People under estimate the strength of their own bite. There is no reason why you couldnt take a dog's paw in your mouth and bite it clean off. Lets see the dog continue with 1 of its paws on the floor. Failing that, attempt to bite its windpipe (on the undersaid of its mouth) and take a chunk out of it. If you manage it, it will be dead in seconds.

Also, what someone said earlier in this thread, just throttle the beast with your arm/hand. It will soon lose consciousness.

Some people give up way to easily.
 
the taste of dog in you mouth may not be that nice and you have no idea what it stood on therefore if you win against the dog, you could still be dead

If I'm in a fight to the death with a dog, I'm not really worried about a temporary bad taste in my mouth. In fact, having a bad taste in my mouth is the least of my worries. In addition, it is highly unlikely that I will die by biting off the paw of a dog, by virtue of the dog having previously stepped on something.
 
Its quite suprising how powerful and savage a dog can be. I once saw my uncle get savaged by an alsation. It was a guard dog one of my other uncles was keeping and it got out...now my uncle is 6'5" and a farmer. I've seen him bring a cow down with his bare hands and fight off a bull which had turned on him (admittedly he had a stick...but impressive anyway). This dog went for him and he didn't stand a chance - it had him on the floor and was shredding his arm to bits before anyone could do anything, it took myself and my other uncle just to hold the dog back...luckily we managed to get a rope around its neck and tie it to a landrover. After the attack my uncle said he was putting all of his strength into pushing the dog back, he even kicked it in the throat and it did nothing. Do not under estimate the power of an angry dog...
 
Our dog at home is a male leonburger.. when he stands on his hind legs he can place his paws easily on my shoulders and look down at me (am 6'7''), when "standing normally" his shoulder are at waist hight and he weights over 85 kilos... I am pretty heavily built used to play rubgy semi-pro and weight around 17stone but in a position where the dog is on all four legs there is no way I can overpower him.

Was the dog put down after the attack?

Yeah, since the dog wasn't my uncles there was some legal battle with the people who owned it (it was his neighbour's dog and he was keeping it for them as they were on holiday...he owns a farm too btw). Turned out the dog had attacked a relative of the owners too, but they managed to convince them to keep it quiet. The dog was put down and now my uncle and his neighbours have fallen out

Good choice, leonbergers are lovely dogs! :)

Well, after a dog has savagely attacked a human, I think its only fair that it be put down, but I can see it from the owners' point of view, too, as they were not looking after the dog at the time of the attack.
