Somewhere out there on the web, a man posted a video about ‘how to kill a pit bull that’s attacking you’. He noted, for example that common defensive moves - kicking at it etc. allow the dog to bleed you down pretty quickly (weaken you considerably with blood loss and flesh wounds) and those dog sparing measures generally do not work against the breed. He said one approach was to flip the dog and then ‘bounce on his chest’ to collapse his ribcage and everything else in the vicinity. That’s assuming the dog is on his hind legs biting you (suggests you may have to ‘allow it’ to grab you LEFT arm because you ARE going to get bitten unless armed) and you reach under and grab the dog’s right front leg (with your right hand) and pull down-across-up to roll the dog over onto his back - at which point you go knees down on his chest and...if you have to...bounce your weight.
My kids play with it all the time. ************************************ Well I couldn't find the video of 'how to kill an attacking pit bull' but I found a text version that is similar. I was taken aback by the picture at the top of the web page (linked above) along with the text. Then I realized the blogger was comparing those who let their children play with pit bulls to those who let children play with grenades.The easiest and most effective way to stop -any- attacking dog is one that is counter-intuitive to most people’s instincts.
When it charges you, instead of pulling back or shielding yourself with your arms, aggressively ram your fist down its throat when it opens its mouth to bite.
A dog that is suffocating -will- stop the attack, *plus* you have just psyched it out.
A predator expects the prey to flee, struggle and submit, -not- move forward into the attack and dominate.
Totally rewires their brain into retreat mode.
If you ever trained protection dogs, you’d know that the _first_ thing you learn is how to save yourself if “something goes horribly wrong”.
“Flipping” a dog is a technique that is beyond the strength of many people.
-Anybody- can make a fist and straighten their arm.
Work smarter, not harder.
