KEY TIPS
No sudden movements
Put hands in pockets
Avoid eye contact
Back away but do not run away
Children can accidentally provoke a dog
Never try to break up two fighting dogs
Standing still and put your hands in pockets because they like to get hold of something," says Madeleine Forsyth, a veterinary surgeon and non-practising barrister based in York. "A waving arm is an obvious target."
Avoid eye contact because it is confrontational and it is always unwise to turn your back, says Miss Forsyth, so standing sideways and looking slightly away is advisable.
If a dog does bite, do not pull away because that will tear the flesh, she says, but shout for help.
"Hope there is someone with a breaking stick to introduce between the jaws.
"Anything will do that can be slid between the teeth at the side, but given the strength of the jaw and the leverage, it would have to be a very powerful bit of stick or it will just break."
No warning
Dog attacks are very rare, says Miss Forsyth. What is called "dominant" aggressive behaviour like barking is normal and does not make a dog likely to attack unless provoked.
More dangerous is "predatory" aggression which is unusual but means the dog can strike without any warning at all. And if a target like a person has been attacked once, the dog will seek out human targets again
Never run because the dog will always overtake you, says Stephen Lomax, a veterinary surgeon and barrister from Shropshire.
"Move away slowly and don't make any sudden movements. And don't approach the dog.
"But the most important advice is never ever try to separate dogs having a fight because of the risk of accidental and serious injury."
A spokesman for the RSPCA said it is important to study a dog's reaction to you.
"If it stiffens up, holds it tail high, snarls and stares at you then be on your guard. If it shows its teeth it may be safest to go no further, but don't turn and run - back away slowly."
And acting in a friendly and confident way will lessen their own fear, he adds.
Some tips from joe public, i particulary like the bucket of water method
If you are about to be attacked by a dog, stand very still, face it and point over and away with your right arm and in a commanding and loud voice shout GET HOME. most command dogs and domestic dogs will turn away and go.
Graham, Nottingham
Water is one of the best remedies, when you see a dog attack, if someone can get a bucket of water, that tends to help!
Mike Richards, Thame Oxfordshire
Surely the onus should be on the owner to control the dog. How are we meant to reconcile all these horrible stories of attacks with advice to stand still and look sideways? You can't explain that to a child when a dog of equal size is bounding towards them making loud and threatening noises. My own child was knocked over in to water at Cooden Beach by an out of control Labrador dog. The owner's response? I should look after my children better!
John Gregory, Windsor
My brother was attacked by pit bull few years ago. He punched into dogs nose and kicked him few times in a ribs. Pit bull ran away like a little puppy.
Erik, London
I have always been told that with animals such as bears this is correct do not try and fight back however DO fight back with dogs They can sense fear and will stand down if they think you will attack them back....are you sure this is correct or people could end up getting hurt!
Alexis, oxford
I was told by an American firearms team that, if attacked by a big dog one should push one's hand as far down the throat of the dog as possible and lock the other free (and unbloody) arm around its neck, thereby stopping it moving away. The dog will eventually collapse. When asked the obvious question about its teeth, the American said, 'Whatever it's doing to your forearm, it ain't doing it to your groin.'
Derek Smith, Brighton
Much to the owners upset I'm sure the dogs having chosen to assault me over the years have probably come off worst. Fortunate in cycling to work in winter I wear heavy coats, gloves and hobnail steel toe cap boots. Having slowed to a walking pace on a public right of way an Alsatian and large Labrador still decided I was fair game, one dog got the hobnail boot in the mouth hard and the other backed off from the bicycle club about to lamp it one. The owners response? 'I've told you before, they attack cyclists!' Like that's normal? Educate the owners, I don't blame the dogs.
Adrian Barnard, Didcot
This article provides information I had not seen before, and is most helpful. I am elderly but in good health, and being able to get out and walk regularly and safely is a necessity. Thank you very much.
Ray McDonald, Vacaville, California, USA
Having been confronted by an Alsatian and seconds later a Doberman I was able to stop the dogs in their tracks with an extremely load shout of GET OUT OF IT. This must have startled the dogs and I was able to ride off safely, I just hope I do not have to try it again,
Trevor, Oxfordshire
Yes. Next time I get attacked by a rampant dog, I am going to stand still and put my hands in my pockets. That sounds plausible.

Ok, let's imagine you get attacked by a dog. You get the better of it etc... how far would you go in punishing the little fucker?
Personally... I'd probably break it's fucking back.

I remember reading in the SAS survival guide* that you can supposedly kill an attacking dog by pulling its front legs apart. Probably easier said than done.
*I'm not some tragic Special Forces Walter Mitty type. I had it bought for me when I was in Army cadets as a youth.

Taser the beast!

My friends doberman bite me twice. After the first time I told my friend he better not bite me again or I will kill him. I swear he bit me agian and I grabbed him and choked him and beat his head against the brick wall. The whole time my friend (who was about 5'5" 130) was hitting me on the back. The dog kept trying to bite me. It ended up dying and I dropped him on the ground. My friend was yelling at me and we didn't talk for months after that. Only time I ever killed a dog.

Carry a stick. Dogs are afraid of sticks, boards etc.. Pepper spray. Better yet some Clorox in a squirt bottle will fuck up any dog but good if sprayed in the eyes, mouth, nose.
-
Where I live lots have pitbulls etc.. I have gentle Labs. I ALWAYS carry a large Buck knife on me. I have seen these assholes pitbulls kill cats, attack other dogs and bite people. If one attacked me or my dogs I would defend myself for sure. I blame the owners and not the pets. I see plenty of fighting breed dogs that are gentle that have good owners.

This dog used to always bark and growl at me on the way home from school. One day in the winter I made a nice iceball with a rock in the center. I drilled it with a 90 mph strike right into the dogs ribs. That fucker never bothered me again after that.
-

I believe him. Fucking dog bites you some people will fight back. I was bit by a German Shepherd. When I got loose I kicked that fucker so hard in the ribs it could barely crawl away from me.

My friend who I work with commutes from Bridgeport, CT. to the Bronx every day. One day he was walking with his autistic kid on his shoulders. A dog charged him and his kid. He pulled out his 9 mm Beretta and shot the dog as it charged. The dog yelped and took off. I think the bullet went clear through the dogs shoulder. A few days later my friends neighbor confronts him and asked if he shot his dog. My friend calmly said yes and that next time he would kill the dog. That dog never bugged him again.

If I was your friend I'd have told that dog's owner that he'd take the bullet if it happens again. >:(

This friend of mine is a nut. He shoots skunks and racoons and oopossums with his crossbow at night when they get in his garbage cans. One time he pinned a opossum down with an arrow shot through it into the ground. The opposum spent the whole night impaled walking in a circle. One night I was there and he shot a broad head clear through a skunk. The skunk never felt a thing! The skunk kept eating as if nothing happened! I guess it didn't hit any vitals! Thats how much penetrating power a broadhead has. A broadhead from a good compound bow will go clear through a pail of wet sand. Try that with most rifles.

Body88...just curious.You have said before that you have owned a couple of pitbulls. What happened to them? Did they just die of old age or did you get rid of them or what?

My first one died of old age. My second one ( Damien) belongs to my best friend now. When I went to college I was living in the dorms. Since I did not want to crate him all day I gave him to my best friend to take care off during the week. I would go over and get him after classes or on the weekend. I spent most my time hanging out with my buddies over my best friends place so it was not much of a change. needles to say my best friend got extremley attxched to him so I let him keep him.
I bring my pup over to visit with him all the time.

Got to respect that.It was much better that you chose to NOT put him in a cage..that isn't any kind of life for anything.

KEY TIPS
Avoid eye contact
very wrong

very wrong
why?
-
why?
Based on an expereince I've had really encountered with the dogs ( fighting dogs ) on several occasions, always drunk. Pit buls etc. always looked in the eyes but stood silent as if I don't care, and my adrenaline level didnt rise but always looked in the eyes or allover the dog at least
english is notmy language and am drinking beer.

Cats are fucking gay!
Spiteful little fuckers.

i dunno, ive never been attacked badly by a dog so i cant say how rank i'd go on one of it had hold of my forearm or arm, but i guess it be punching the fuck out of it
-
why?
That guys is a complete idiot or a gimmick. Aviod eye contact at all times. When you are walking down the street and a guy is just staring at you how do you feel?
Now times that by 500 since dogs cannot speak and you get the idea why you should never do that.

That was actually a very good way of explaining that.You make the dog feel threatened.
-
Thanks, this is a mistake a lot of people make. Not all dogs will attack you if you stare at them. But, dominant dogs take the stare especially personal. To them it is a challenge. To most animals a direct stare is a challenge. If a man just sat there and stared right in your face for an extended period of time you would think " what does this guy have a problem"? This is magnified when done to a dog, because they do not have the ability to think about a situation like a human does. A human might say " this is not worth the trouble" or, "I would kick that guys ass and do not want to be arrested etc etc". While a dog would act on instinct alone.
Many dog attacks occur due to humans taunting the animal through a fence or poking and pulling on it beyond the dogs tolerance level. You hear about these children being attacked by labs and collies. You never hear about how the parents left the child alone with the dog. How the child poked the animal in the eye one time to many times,causing it to attack. How would you like some kid crawling all over you and poking you in the face for hours on end. Pulling your hair and talking one inch from your face.Screaming in your ear and laying all over you. A dog cannot tell a child to stop. It cannot push it away with its hands. It is an animal.That is why there should be supervision at all times when a child is playing with a dog. You look into these attacks closely, and the owners of the attacking dogs are to blame about 98 percent of the time. Lack of socilazation, neglect (work and busy life),abuse,letting the dog get bored, never training it, leaving it alone with small children etc, etc. There are those crazy rogue dogs that go bananas for no reason. But, they are few and far between. Like the ratio of normal humans to stone crazy ones,same deal. 99 percent of attacks could be prevented ::)
