When a trained attack Rottweiler is dragging you down by your arm, I doubt you are thinking that, lol. I'm amazed Caesar hasn't gotten too many injuries w/ his "dominance roll" that he does.

If I ever have to go check up on my sister's dogs, I have to take a weapon of some sorts in with my just in the off chance her male Rottie flips out on me. 90% of the time he's a big baby. That other 10%, he is well over 120 lbs of destruction. If he ever attacks me, I am instantly going into the fetal position

Well, he is the Dog Whisperer, you know.

Yeah I know, I watch the show often, and with the pain in the butt dogs he deals with sometimes, I'm amazed his face hasn't been bitten more

I've seen him get bitten by smaller dogs and having some blood (just a bit) on his hand. But he always ends up as the one on top. Funny that it happened mostly while dealing with smaller dogs, not the big ones.

Not sure if possible, but I always thought if a dog grabbed my arm or something, I would wrap my other around his neck and fall to the ground with all my weight, hoping to snap it's neck.

Re: Could you fight a Dog?

I don't know... I thought I would definitely be able to take any dog (probably via cheapshots) but the dog next door to me is a farking cow... weighs like 180 pounds. He's scary.

Re: Could you fight a Dog?

From all I've seen and heard, you need to do what several guys have pointed out here to have a chance, especially against a breed that has the bite force that are off the charts. One thing I've heard to do that hasn't been mentioned here involves if the dog is jumping up at you. Basically strike it in the ribs (a knee should do the trick) and knock the wind out of it. Or better yet, take the chance it's a dude and kick it in the nerds.

That might work better than running somewhere until you find a gun!

Re: Could you fight a Dog?

The Dog Whisperer guy pisses off a few of my huge dog friends. They say he doesn't know crap and that's not a very good way to train a dog. I bring him up every once in a while during conversations just to rile those friends up lol.

If it's a police type dog, trained and/or just flat out angry I think most of us would be in trouble. Be as e-badass as you want, but we've all seen those cop dogs take out huge, drugged up (feeling no pain) guys without a problem.

He knows how to protect himself well with his hands, plus he is hardly ever alone when you see the filming being done. Most of the times when he is really hurt (arms, mostly) you will NEVER see it on air.

That's straight from Cesar himself.

Re: Could you fight a Dog?

Could I fight one? Yes.

Would I get torn limb from limb in said fight? Most likely.

I thought it was best to try and stay up right because it's harder for the dog to get at your neck?

Thought this was about Dog, with Dog being capitalized lol



Heres about defending yourself against a dog

Kicking or punching a trained dog will be ineffective. We've documented several cases where large breed dogs were latched on to an individual and neighbors ran out and beat the dogs over the head with baseball bats and the dogs did not let go. (Again, it depends on the dog, but if you're going to put together a defense strategy, it's important to take this into consideration.

You cannot outrun a dog. Even a big, heavy slow dog like as a Rottweiler.

Re: Could you fight a Dog?

I've thought about it before. I have no idea really, but I think I could take on ONE dog. I would go for a kick before I went for a punch though. Why? Because they're lower to the ground and getting into position to punch a dog that's low to the ground just seems awkward. But you also have to have the mindset too. If a dog is attacking me, I'm not letting up on it just because it's an animal... it's life or death. I'm going as hard as I can on it.

Also, depends on the type of dog. A police dog (typically a German Sheppard)? No way. I'm giving up. Anything else though, I'm going to fight it. You can't run from it so you can only find a place it can't get or fight.
