    Teach your children, practice this often so it becomes second nature.

    "The recommended survival technique for an attacking 'domesticated' dog (extrapolation is necessary, for obvious reasons) is to offer the forearm, then use the free arm to secure the back of the animal's head. The legs are then wrapped around the canine's torso and the animal rolled onto its back. Ordinarily a dog will, at this point, attempt to dislodge the forearm from its mouth and get back to its feet. With proper resolve, the animal can be held in place and the bitten arm shifted so that a fist can be pushed into the dog's throat and esophagus. With only a few inches insertion, respiration can be profoundly restricted, causing the dog to expire within 30 seconds to a minute."

    As I said, get them into a sleeper hold..... :D

    This is some very good advice and i will print it out and laminate it.

    I have a large field out the back with lot's of dog walkers how should I entice them (dogs not the owners) to attack me? Would tying bacon to my forearm be classified the same as a lawnmower?

    I'm going to stick up for censored sapiens here - assuming the person is male, maybe 30 years old, trained to some extent or at least physically strong and lacking in fear - or at least uses that fear they aren't going to panic.

    I reckon in a fight to the death I'd back the person over a German Shepherd. Not saying it's a foregone conclusion by any means but you've got a weight advantage, you've got human intelligence, hands, elbows, knees, head.

    Now there are breeds like some of the flock guardian breeds that are huge where I'd accept the human would probably lose but against a police dog - German shepherd or big malinois - not sure - that said I wouldn't volunteer to find out.


    sorry - you're saying someone is gonna win against a police dog?

    really?

    Isn't it kind of the point of a police dog that they are trained to take you down?

    Yes, not to fight to the death though.

    I think you'd call submission first.

    But they’re also very effective when doing it in a controlled and trained manner.

    Our dog tacklers on here may be facing an untrained headcase of a dog going for anything it can sink it’s teeth into.

    If 100 people tried it, I would expect some to survive but I think luck would play a big part in deciding who.
    Reps down the gym probably wouldn’t be the decider.

    A big working line German shepherd is about 80lbs so fairly big but if we are talking about a 200lb man well used to fighting.

    That sort of hard as nails scrapper is the sort of person who stands a chance.
    They’re a smaller part of the population than the percentages returned.
    I think you’ve got a load of gym goers who think they’re hard as nails saying, I could have it. I think they’re wrong.

    Attrition will be significant. A scrap is knackering.

    True but it says big dog and we've used a trained German shepherd as the example - we could have said Labrador or a deerhound - so I think it's fair to choose a reasonably good fighter.

    Question was "which of these do you think you could beat in a fight?"

    pub scrapper vs labrador
    Pub doorman vs GSD

    of course the pub scrapper would demand to fight the GSD because it was umanly to fight the labrador

    I would be vey disappointed if I was killed by a labrador

    see the above post from MF.

    Terry Talib are quite good at fighting and they had guns.

    It didn't end too well.

    I was thinking I'd read something like this in a book, but it was a work of fiction and the guy was being attacked by a big cat. Interesting to know the author had done some research then. I remember thinking at the time you wouldn't have much arm left poking it down a big cat's throat. I don't mean a Maine Coon.

    I took 4 stitches to the face from our loving pet Alsatian that was close to dying and was just saying "leave me alone". It happened very fast. I wouldn't want to tackle a healthy angry threatened one.
    Reminds me. Leaving school one day we saw the results of a boy getting caught by one when nicking some apples. His leg was ripped to shreds with blood everywhere. Stuck with me for over 50 years that has.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    if you have an SAS dog then surely it has to fight an SAS man

    does the dog still win?

    Are people who suggest being able to take on a police dog over looking the simple logic that the very reason they use them is because they invariably always win?

    Terrier are good at that sort of thing however I'm not really into rolling around on the floor biting rats.

    Put a terrier into a scrap with a rat the size of a cat or a farm rat/ooloo (sic) rat then its a different story I would say.

    A spade is an alternative. Messes up your lino, though.

    I remember years ago when I was in the RAF opening the inner door to our building entrance to find a growling RAF police Alsatian staring back at me from within the security entrance. I shut the door rather quickly!. The handler thought it was a good place to leave the dog whilst he went to the toilet .......but didn’t warn anyone.
