What would you do if a dog attacked YOU ?

Interesting idea .....I would have to try it to see if it worked.

I dont think its a good idea to grab an attacking dog by the collar and try to choke it - I would think you would be more likely to lose a hand.

If I were in an area where aggressive dogs were likely to be loose, I would carry a big walking stick or pepper spray.

If it's a little dog I'd probably grab it by the scruff of it's neck. If it's too big to do that and I got a good shot I'd bite it's ear. I'm not 100% sure this would work for a strange dog but mushers will do this with their sled dogs to make them be submissive and obey. I probably wouldn't struggle to much if they had a hold on me as it would only make my wounds worse. By the way I loved how friendly that white dog was in the example. :) Cute too!

it sure would be worth a try, although iam always walking two dogs so i carry pepper spray ive also read everything a can on dog attacks, other ways if your being mauled or your pet is, picking up hind legs and walking like a wheel barrel just cant let go and keep moving or sticking thumb in eyeball and popping eyeball now this is if the dog is killing you or someone else or finger up their butt to get them to release something but then they will turn to bite you. one of my dogs have been attack before so preparing for next time.

Most people do not carry firearms. And carrying a firearm on your body without a concealed weapons permit will get you arrested.

So, Curtis, while you carry your gun (I do hope you have a license?) people need other alternatives.

Making it a habit to carry steel baton on you (it is light weight, can be made small enough to fit in your pocket, purse of even down your pants, is a very good idea. The power of one of these is enough to kill a dog or at least do serious harm to stop the attack.

If it would be a small lap dog, I would just pick it up by it's tail and fling it somewhere.

If it would be a small but sturdy dog, a medium-sized dog, or a large dog, I would grab a stick and stick it down the dog's throat. Sounds cruel, but if you don't completely stuff it down it won't kill the dog, it'll just make it gag, long enough for you to get out of the area.

I'd shoot it.

That's why God gave us the right to defend ourselves from harm...

That's why the United States of America gave us the 2nd Amendment...

That's why John Moses Browning gave us the Colt 1911...

-edit- Launi, if you're not a felon, it doesn't take much to get a concealed carry license...are you a felon? O_O

OH, also, many states allow open carry of firearms without a CCW! Including mine.

If a dog is attacking me then best believe that I'm going to fight back. I'm going to use my fists, legs, and whatever else i can grab. I'm not a fan of the "curl up into a ball" method.

What method?

Depends what dog...if its small enough...it might be meeting its maker. Large dogs, idk...depends on the situation

Since my husband usually carries a gun I'm gonna guess hed shot it. If I didnt have a gun Id try to kick it etc..catch its ear and pull on it lol.. I hope i never have to find out though

btw you didnt post a l ink or anything to your method
