dog attacks

[Solus]

I was told to snap the legs, as most breeds have weak joints in the ankles and knees. Feeding them your weak hand and sticking it as far down their throat as possible also works well. Some breeds will fight on regardless, weapons much even the odds.

A dog used to give me trouble on my paper route.  A guy who said he trained dobermans in the army told me when ti went to bite to shove my hand as far into it's mouth as I could and grab it's lower jaw and I would be able to control it with that leverage.

My thought was,  Gosh, I been doing it wrong, I been trying to keep my body parts out of it's mouth.

Never tried it, but started keeping a few extra papers in my bag so I could swing it at aggressive dogs.  Worked to keep them at bay.

Had a yard crapper come after me a month ago. Face full of peppers spray turned a 90 pound pissed off hairball of teeth and nasty attitude into a cowering wet himself under the porch softy.

     As most of you know I work for a railroad as a thru freight Engineer. When I was a conductor, at any time I would be required to walk the length of the train which could be as long as 9000' and in some of the most rural area of the country. It wasn't unusual to walk up on any kind of wildlife including feral dogs. One of our solutions to deal with most any kind of threat was Road Flares. Of course the ones we have are industrial strength and last for 10 minutes, but I would expect that most flares would do the trick. Pop a flare off in anythings face and they will run for greener pastors. You do have to keep in mind that during fall/winter seasons this can and will start a forest fire if not careful. As we are not allowed to carry anything larger than a 3" pocket knife and a walking stick/staff is too big to carry on and off each train, these are great as we can stick a few in our back pocket.

Bet that would work. The ones I got for free from sympathetic Brakemen 40 years ago, also had a very hot but white liquid that could be slung in a horizontal manner that would discourage anyone or anything standing too close.
