I've dealt with attacking dogs before and am confident I could again but what I worry about is MY dog, who is small and older. Most of the confrontation advice I see doesn't work if the attacker is going for your dog because now you have a leash and a dog on the end of it who in many cases could be dead faster than you could get to a stick, and there's no use from the blocks and knee to the chest if you're not the focus of the attack. The immediate instinct is to pick your dog up and then the knee could be helpful in creating space, but I'd love to hear any other ideas!
Great video! I might have missed it but I wasn't sure if there was any mention about getting on top of a car. Many situations occur in your neighborhood where there will be a car close by. Get on the hood as fast as you can. Dogs have no grip and even if they do get on the hood, it is very easy to kick them off. The best way is to jump on the hood and immediately gripping where the wipers are and do a back kick like a horse. This position, for the most part, will keep your vital organs protected including your throat and face. If given the chance get on the roof and position yourself on your back with your knees up and ready to kick. Seriously, a dog does not fair well on slippery surfaces such as a car. :) Thank you for the video!

Just don't jump in a bed of a pickup truck! I think they will eat you alive . 🤔 🛻🐕 Good video. 👍🏻
I'm an older lady living in rural France, and I've found this video very informative.
It will even help me with the friendly, but enormous and boisterous dog at the farm next door (it's always loose, and fences aren't really a thing around here). I wouldn't hurt her, but a stick will help me to own my space against her, especially when I'm in light summer clothes.
Thank you.
Great to hear that it will be helpful, thanks for commenting and sharing! 🙏 👍
If you can get pepper 🌶 spray or a can of wasp spray it may help you also. My uncle told me to keep a can of carburetor cleaner in my car just incase someone wants to rob me. It will put their eyes out for a while and give you time to get away. 😉
You're saying: BE the Alpha. No shrieking, that's prey response. Take command. Don't bite the dog but make it believe you would. At 77, run or climb is not going to happen. I often have a shovel or rake in hand. I'd hate to break bones, but if dog's intent is to gut me, I could. Good clue! re pick up the rear end and shake. If its clamped teeth on me, my sharp nails to its eyes might also work. If I can make it change its mind, I'd much rather do that without harming it. I see more videos in the side bar. Training makes confidence. Dogs respect confidence. Thanks for good video.
I like your wise words in the physical limitations section. 👍

I personally struggled with “bolt” part because as others have stated, it communicates to their animal brain for them to chase you immediately. My only comfort with the escape aspect you described would be to initiate this as a form of avoidance. If avoiding the area completely wasn’t possible, then an attempt to get behind a gate (or on top of something to escape contact) makes sense.
I have wrestled and/or fought with many canines and know how to engage without exposing my vulnerable areas. Instinctively, I now know the tender points where almost every canine fears to feel pressure. Everything you mentioned in a contact situation is spot on yet I think clarifying one point must be made. You mentioned grabbing and twisting the collar (perfect for domination) behind the neck is best but if there isn’t a collar or you simply don’t grip it, grabbing a fistful of fur and taking control of the animal’s energy by the nape of the neck can convert them into submission. This might even be better than choking the dog (which will evoke panic) because it is hardwired into their DNA that this is how mama dog managed puppy. You are right about expressing a calm confidence and that it cannot be faked. I have seen dogs call bluffs plenty and if a person bolts after a bluff, they will get caught.
My favorite instruction of yours was one that most people don’t teach (probably don’t know) and it’s a tough one to execute because it is counter intuitive. Don’t yank yourself out of a bite clench. I have done both….the worst cut I ever got was pulling away from a puppy nipping at me with razor sharp new teeth. It requires intentional mind over matter preparation much like those who do carpentry work up high that have to overcome the knee jerk response to smash8ng their thumb with a hammer. Hitting your thumb won’t kill you but the fall from overreacting to pain might.
The best way to get them to release you is to force into their jaw whether by grabbing the back of their head and increasing the forward pressure or inserting your finger/thumb of the free hand deep into their mouth behind the back teeth and initiating the gag reflex by pressure on the tongue and back of throat. They will open their mouth wide, back away quickly, be done, and want no more of you.
You are completely right! You don´t have to go to the gym. Work in the garden. Take a walk. Use the staircase instead of the elevator. Just don´t forget to use Your body instead of being a potato on the sofa. You can be too old, too young, too fat, too slim, just stay active. You don´t have a stick? Carry a jacket over Your shoulder and use it if necessary. You don´t have a stick but a laptop bag? use it between You and the agression. Any armour is better than no armour.
Very good video and I like Your philosophy very much.

I've been attacked by dogs while cycling, normally one might peddle away fast enough, if they get at my leg/foot I generally just lift my leg, they can bite my peddle or the dog may run into my bike and become dazed while I'm moving out of their space, rarely do I try to kick at them, (waste of time and energy), also sometimes just a firm command along the lines of BE NICE or HELLO or NO, animals are much smarter than humans generally give them credit for and may perceive you as not such a big deal after they've gotten over the irresistible urge to chase you, some are actually nice and just want to race you or check you out, also I've had to dismount and use my bike as some sort of shield, actually works fairly well I can swing it around like a piece of fence to disturb the dog that's slipping behind me while number one dog is messing with me at my front, while I'm trying to get my sorry ass out of their territory, I will sometimes bark out loud commands for the people in my zone to get control of their dogs, wich usually works, owners may be inside and not know that their dog escaped, sometimes it's best to do nothing and stay still and let the owner get their dog back, sorry for being so long winded but hopefully a few tidbits/ nuggets of extra ideas for moving though space on a bike, stay safe.
Try water jet against dogs that attack you while cycling or jogging!
52 years ago I was traumatized by a German Shepherd in full sprint charging across a field toward me and my toddler daughter as we walked along the side of a two-lane country road in New York state. (I am well aware that, in that shepherd’s instinct-driven ‘mind’, it was only trying to defend its territory.) It all happened so suddenly and without warning, that I just stood there frozen. I had absolutely nothing with me of use for defence against a powerful animal. Literally one second before the dog reached us, one second before I would have had to fight the dog off with my bare hands, it charged across the road separating us. At the very moment the dog was in the middle of the far lane, it was run over by a speeding pickup truck that appeared from behind - seemingly out of nowhere. The dog was not killed by the truck’s wheels, but was slammed beneath the bumper and got rolled over. I can still hear how its body and legs tumbled under the center of the truck’s chassis for about 20 feet. The truck didn’t even slow down, but continued speeding down the road and out of sight; the dog got back up and ran squealing into some woods behind us; and, thankfully, my little girl and I got safely back home. I am 80 now and I relive that awful experience whenever I see a report or video of a dog attack. I never ever want to be defenceless like that again. My first option is to carry some kind of deterrent - stick, cane, umbrella - to keep an aggressive dog at a distance and hopefully to scare it off and discourage it from escalating into an actual biting attack. But, if deterrence doesn’t work and the dog actually goes into savage attack mode, then my second option - a small legal knife - must come into play. Sadly, in such dire circumstances, ‘justice-for-dogs’ and ‘empathy-for-dogs’ (I really do love dogs a lot) do not apply. So if a dog goes at me or some defenceless person with its fangs then I will hopefully be able to STOP it by using the knife (which is metal and longer and sharper than the dog’s fangs).
These videos will help a lot of people. I think it would be very helpful to dedicate one video to advanced ground techniques after a dog has you on the ground. Not a good place to be but there are so many more options than just covering your face and blindly striking out. Advanced techniques would only benefit those that have good situational awareness and some physical health. But it would be great to see you cover the extreme dislike of dog's legs and feet being touched and let's face it when you are on the ground and a dog is attacking you those feet are right there. And most dogs will stop whatever they're doing to get your hands off their feet or legs. Also moves involving your forearm parallel to the dog's jawline and your body and face perpendicular to the dogs which keeps your face away from his teeth. There are a few parts in your video where you instruct people to use both hands to grab at parts of the dog such as his back feet or his tail to throw him off. I bow to your experience but I got to say Dogs are mind-blowingly quick. When you reach with both hands to grab anything on a dog your face is left completely vulnerable. If you're on the ground I would always recommend keeping one forearm across your throat and face to guard it always. I feel a person can accomplish just as much grabbing one foot with one hand and protecting his face with the other hand as opposed to grabbing both feet with both hands and leaving your face and throat vulnerable. Would love to see that video and let's face it an attacking dog's main objectives in most vicious dog attacks is to just get you down to the ground cuz that's where your throat is closer to his mouth so I think in a dog attack it's very common for people to find themselves on the ground and an advanced video on how to handle that would be awesome! Thanks for posting these videos
👍 🙏
Thanks again for the follow-up video, which offered even more good tips. I will probably go back and watch it multiple times. I forgot to mention after the first video. A-Avoid and B-Bolt have helped me multiple times in the past. In quite a few instances, I have seen a loose dog before it sees me and have successfully avoided it. If it wants the street. it can have the street. I'm out.
Thanks for sharing, good to hear and much appreciated. Glad you found both videos helpful 🙏 👍
I used to ride a bike by a house with a huge Saint Bernard barking very loudly and running at me. After a few times I decided to stay put, dismount and see what happens. The big dog came to me, stopped barking and asked to be petted. We became friends. Later I met the owner, too. He was as friendly as the dog.
Another dog not so nice. We had relatives we used to visit often. They got a Rottweiler but did not discipline it. As the dog became an adult it dominated the family. Once we were there the dog made dominating gestures towards my wife and me. I was getting ready to fight the big, aggressive dog. We left the house and never went back. Too dangerous.
Good tips! I've been attacked by dogs before as a runner. I never knew that I could actually fight back with the dog in the ways you demonstrated; I'll be sure to remember this! And to any dog owners out there, if you see your dog outside attacking someone please don't be afraid to just go out there and call off your dog! I was in a situation similar to this and was injured more just because the owner looking out his window wouldn't come outside to help and call off his 3 dogs.
Thanks for the comment and sharing - we hope the tips help in the future if needed! Stay safe 🙏 👍
Wow… It’s hard to believe an owner would not run out there to help. I’m shocked by that statement. He should have dogs. Something’s wrong with that owner.
@brenda8506 - I think you meant "He *_shouldn't_* have dogs."

You’re right about multiple dogs! Attacking! That lady in Sydney australia, Irish wolf hounds! After her Jack Russel pet! I cannot imagine that lady’s trauma! Yet she protected her little dog! That’s love and guts! I cannot imagine, how that day of events went on! Im glad it was a great outcome! Im on my guard all the time! Your video has helped me greatly! Thankyou!
You are right about holding your ground. Dogs are fast. Bolting seems like a way for real disaster. You showed them that you are fearful prey and unlocked their hunting behavior.
In Egypt, a pack of dogs often came towards me in the evenings. When they were about 30 meters away barking and coming towards me, I turned around like taking a look on what they were barking at, next walked straight ahead, ignoring them. No postures. Just normal walking with a straight back.
In Thailand, there were lots of loose dogs in the evenings. One guy I met had a short stick like yours easily accessible on his bike. When they came at me, on my bike, I stopped, talked friendly, let them sniff me, before moving on. I probably had the "right energy" from meditation. Calmness brings courage. ;-)
The dogs are often not angry, but nervous. When you are calm and confident, it can diffuse everything. Most dogs are decent beings, even in packs, unlike most people.

P.S. the post from (tele player) about getting on a car is an excellent idea, I'm going to use my car as training for my grandkids as rehearsal for evasion, also pretty much all of the people that have posted their thoughts on this particular thread have been informative and useful for me to add bits of wisdom for my mind, body, and soul, this seems to be a really cool channel, glad that I stumbled upon it, again all, be safe.

Tasers work great on dogs, a noise that they back away from. If they come in then the head or neck is good to jam it in on full trigger.
My biggest concern is a dog attack attempt while riding my mountain bike.
Thanks for the second (follow up) video. It answers multiple questions/concerns. When at the last you spoke of responsible dog ownership, it should be pointed out that we have a driver's license (due to a test for minimal competency), medical licensing, etc., but the same does not hold for gun ownership nor pet ownership... much less requiring a license for parenting. Whereas many would like to think we live in an age of enlightened perspectives, I am more inclined to think this is an Age of Irrationality. Thanks again for the second helping of dog attack responsiveness.
Thank you.
🙏 👍
Your personality and explanation of various techniques are a nice combination of " street-wise " and common courtesy. PLeasant & informative! Thanks!
Thanks, much appreciated! Hope you find the video useful. 🙏 👍
I really am grateful for this video and its helpful ideas about defending against dog attacks. I think that the “ABC” (avoid/ bolt/ confront) plan really could be “ABCD” (avoid/ beam energy/ confront/ defeat). At my age, 80, the “B” (bolt) section hardly is doable any more. So I’d replace ‘bolt’ with your wise and valuable advice about the importance of projecting calm energy and confidence (in other words, ‘beam energy’). Also, in my opinion, if the ‘confront’ phase degenerates into an actual ‘combat’ phase, then the plan needs to include some means for decisively defeating the dog. Some of the other comments talk about carrying sprays, knives, or even guns. I hate the thought of lethal force being used to maim or kill animals whose careless owners have failed to keep under control, but if a weak or older person (like me) or a child is being bitten and savaged then a dog gone berserk, plain and simple, can’t be spared.
Thanks for your comment, glad you find it valuable 👍🏽 you can check out part 2, which goes into detail on the concerns some people raised about being able to bolt. Dog Attack Q&A

Linda, Now you don't have to be! Great info in the video
@@athleticengine I got a cool carved walking cane 😄
These videos are very useful to me, because I usually go running out in the forest and the owners usually let the dogs go free there, so many times I find myself face to face with them. Luckily it has never been a dangerous situation, it seems that the dogs do not see me as a threat. Also here in Sweden it is common to meet all kinds of animals in the forest, such as wild boars, foxes, reindeer and even once a wolf at about 50 meters. By the way, it didn't go up to me neither. It stopped and then continued on its way. 🙂
Thanks for commenting - we hope the video is useful 👍 stay safe! 🙏
in my experience, your posture and body language do make a huge difference to dogs especially, there's a huge unchained dog that sits out on the side of the road next to where I used to live, and I'd walk by it every day and give it a pet, meanwhile my brother would nervously run on the other side to avoid it, and ended up getting chased and having is sweater torn up by it.
Your defend against dogs video was excellent, the best I've seen so far and very well taught thank you! I've subscribed to. Lee Morrison of Urban Combatives

Hi, I just turned 73 in July. Luckily I have never been attacked by a human but I have had dogs attack me or one of my dogs who were on a leash several times. I think it would be good advice to have pepper spray and be practiced at using it. I bought spray to use but never had it when needed. The last time this happen was a month ago, a guy had 3 large dogs on leashes at a dirt road/trail at Codorus State Park in PA. He had a worried look on his face because he could not hold them back and they were barking and pulling him towards us rapidly. I handed the leash of our Australian Cattle dog to my wife and went toward them and grabbed the leashes and stopped them right before they got to my wife and dog. At this point the guy was on the ground but still holding on. The dogs stopped and looked at me instead of my wife and dog and we gained control over them. I was lucky they were not mean. I acted, with out time to think and it worked out with out any one getting hurt. They were not mean dogs but were not controlled or trained properly. The guy was a little stupid to have 3 large excitable dogs (60 to 80 lbs) and not have prong collars on them. The biggest dog turned and came right up to me and looked up at me like, what are we going to do now. I slapped (patted) him on the side with approval like I have with my big dogs and he was under my control. The guy eyes got real big like he did not believe what I just done. He got up and then he hurried up the trail with his dogs. They had got over going for my dog. I never got a chance to tell him how stupid he was to take 3 large dogs by him self and with out prong collars. I am a big guy 6 foot and 230 lbs and the dogs were really strong and almost more than I could handle!
I have been around dogs since I was an infant. At the age of 3 my dad was stationed at Elmendorf AFB Anchorage Alaska and brought home a pup that was half wolf and half Siberian Husky we called Wolf. My dad said they found the pups on the flight line after the mother was klled. He got to be a real big strong dog. Wolf got along with our other dog and would be right by my side as I played in the dirt. Around the time I was 21 and home from being on active duty in the US Air Force I had a German Shepherd and my dad had several German Shepherds. At one point after two of his female dogs had pups he had over 20 at one time.
Maybe I was wrong to do what I did but it worked and was out of instinct. From now on I am going to carry a walking stick and pepper spray but not use either unless absolutely necessary. Use the force needed in the situation, you don't always have to attack, mace or shoot.
This is so unbelievably informative. I can’t thank you enough
Your video was FANTASTIC. This was very informative and helpful for learning defense in dog fights where YOU are the 2nd party being attacked by fhe dog and not just trying to pull a biting dog off of another. I'm severely obese (5'5" about 260 lbs), chronically ill, and rather deconditioned, but I could pull off these stances and strikes, albeit probably not with as much strength as what you have. That kicking technique in your previous video is one I can do, as my legs are surprisingly toned.
Thank you also for kindness while teaching about dog aggression and defending against it. I saw another channel where the guy was reviewing saying what should've been done to stop the fight in various video clips of dog fights, and he did was be rude, biting, condescending, and say "don't go to dog parks." Not all dog parks have the same community of owners and dogs, and it's also still imperative that you maintain your dog's health to protect against fleas, ticks, parasites, parvo, and other diseases that may be found at a dog park. I'm really glad you didn't condemn anyone from bringing their dog to a dog park, but very much emphasized responsible dog ownership.
Also, what kind of dog is Sophie? She's very unique looking.

Great videos on this subject - I'm an Inline skater - Rollerblade's and just loving the skate park stuff but I'm finding that I'm getting attacked by loose dogs as there are more and more a-hole dog owners out there not keeping their dogs on leash, and ... being attacked the last time by surprise, I spun around and swore at it full noise as it was charging at me, it stopped and walked off, and then I left immediately to avoid any more... on inline skates there is a lot less stability, and I find that I'm having to scope out the park first before I put my inlines on, and if they show up in the mean time, I leave, I feel I have to leave.... I told an owner one time because of his dog I have to leave, then straight away I saw out of the corner of my eye the dog lay a turd right in the middle of the skatepark, and all the kids and adults all reacted accordingly. Is there any specific other pointers you can give to inline skaters down the skate park???

Nice channel! SUBSCRIBED!

Thanks! 👍
I have trained with a lot with a short 32" cane, but your instruction of using a bladed stance and a mop handle grip against dogs was new and totally spot on. If attacked by a dog, how could I best use a tactical folding knife? PS I subscribed yesterday.
this one is excellent, too!!
👍🏽 👊🏽
I had an interaction with a dog owner whom did not warn me their dog was trained to kill & attack at will. The dog took a chunk out of my thumb as it snapped at me. Dog owners should get training and certification to be an owner beforehand, this would avoid a lot of issues.
Thank you again! A stick is very effective.
👍🏽
The coat comment was good, and I would add that you should keep something heavy in the pockets such as fishing sinkers or a big rock. If you used the coat to whack a dog it would really clobber it a lot better than a clothes snap.
👍🏽
Very good videos on protecting oneself from attacking dogs. However, one question that was not addressed. If you are walking your dog (large or small breed) and an aggressive dog moves in to attack your dog problems can escalate! First, your dog may want to engage and fight the attacking dog. How can you stop the fight and not get bitten? Picking up ones dog, can protect your dog, but it leave you vulnerable to be bitten. How do you defend for both yourself and your dog at the same time?
Good advice. But I’m afraid the German Shepherd stole the show!
You've done well to train your dogs. I appreciate you're effort s to help people survive aggressive dog attacks and threats.
It seems to me that the dogs and the irresponsible owners are given way too much leniency and legal latitude when it comes to making sure that other people are given the right of having a safe neighborhood. In my state after a first time offense the dog owner "might be" punished with a stern warning from the judge with a little slap on the owner's wrist by telling the dog owner, "Sir you shouldn't have let your dangerous dog run free and maul a toddler. Next time that happens that will cause you big trouble so don't let it happen again. OK?."
It'll never work to expect dogs to understand and obey the law. That's laughable, It's almost as laughable and will almost never work to expect irresponsible people to honor other people's desire and right to have a safe and calm neighborhood. People have been mauled, disfigured and even killed because of the dog's natural instincts of an aggressive nature and the irresponsible nature of some people who have those kinds of dogs as family pets.
A more responsible part of your advice of avoidance should begin with making dog owners fear the consequences of injuries and death of people of any age and physical condition.
Contact your legislators and communicate to them that people should be strenuously protected from aggressive dogs and from irresponsible dog owners. Laws need to have teeth as sharp and as strong and as aggressive as the dog's. A first offense should be as strenuous to the dogs and their owners as a 10th offense.
Some people will think I hate dogs. I don't. I had dogs for pets as a kid and as an adult. I just have more respect for people than I have love for dogs.
That last question about being “handicapped” or “elderly” was addressed in this entire video for those who weren’t paying attention; it’s called a “walking stick.”
The stick, like a firearm, is the “great equalizer” in dog attacks. Elderly, physically challenged, all can utilize a stick easily enough. To a practical degree, these videos address how to defend an attack by dogs while walking outside… and therefore, by definition if a person is able to walk around and be in a situation where they are potentially being attacked by dogs, I’m fairly certain they possess the strength to carry a small staff/stick. Or pepper spray. Or firearm. The video creator is correct however, the real world operates on being fit enough to be able to execute bare minimum efforts to protect yourself. He’s not saying you need to be a Black Belt Tae Twon Do expert… he’s saying be competent enough to be able to train in body posture, emotional control, and yes, be able to hold a short stick or long staff. That’s reality. Nothing wrong in what he’s saying to be honest.
Great VDO. Where are you filming in?
Great videos with super info!
I love dogs, but I know some are dangerous and out of control. I am wondering what the best technique is to unlock a dog biting another person. If I see a dog attacking another person, I want to help. ... pick up the hind legs? ... strikes? ... choke? ... suffocate?

Avoid direct eye contact and focus on the mouth/nose and scan for exit points
I was in thailand and walking down a street and about 200 feet in front of me a pack of mid-sized to big dogs, like 7 or so, walked to the middle of the street and started barking...i immediately turned around and walked back like "nope" 😅
Multiple dogs try to encircle you. In front of you stand two or three beta attackers who take the space. They put the barrier, not you. The alpha attacks from the rear (usually) and I'm inclined to believe that it is often a female. In such a situation, in my opinion, it is best to become aggressive in order to avoid encirclement :shout loudly, throw pebbles, sprinkle with water (water jet it's surprisingly effective), carry any object that could be used as a weapon. Unfortunately I am experienced in such situations and I managed to push back many attacks.
Anything that rolls (bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, roller-skates, baby carriages) entice dogs to attack.
7:35 What's your recommendation about eye contact? I remember being told that dogs consider direct eye contact as aggression and if the dog hasn't yet attacked it would be better to keep your eyes off the dog but I'm not sure if that's just old wives' tale. (Obviously still monitoring what the dog is doing from the corner of your eye.)
Update: I noticed that you did mention avoiding eye contact later in the video so it seems that there's real importance here.

I think every dog owner should take courses and lessons with professionals, and remember those. Most of the problems take their source in the owner misbehaving. Only humans can be real evil.
I heard that eye contact conveys aggression and can make dogs more aggressive. Is it crucial to still avoid eye contact when in a confront situation, whats your take on that?
I hike a lot in rural parks and national forest in Missouri. A friend of mine was attacked by a pack of dogs out on a hike. He truly thought he was going to die. People in the country let their dogs roam freely. They pack up and are extremely dangerous. I carry lethal force with me when I hike in the wild. I hope I never have to use it, but will if attacked by a pack of dogs. I think there is a point where you have to decide to kill a dog attacking you anyway you can. I view myself as a dog lover, and hate suggesting this.

i am 16 years old and when i was 12 we had a lot of problems with our neighbors dogs being constantly loose and i was helping my dad work on a car we work inside a shop with walls but this time we was working outside and i can't remember why i left the supervision of my dad (bathroom probably lol) anyway i was on the opposite side of the the house that my dad was on and i encountered a pitbull he saw me and instantly he pulled his ears back and started to growl i take martial arts and staying calm during a fight is a important aspect of any martial art so i didn't panic i got in a fighting stance and just stood there staring at the dog for maybe 30 seconds then my dad came around (lucky for me) and i cant remember what he did but he made it leave. so i'm just wondering what you can do in a standoff or just try to calm the dog down if you can
If there is not a rock or any thing can you use dirt to though in there eyes, will that work?
I still have question. Why front thai kick instead of big round kick? For knee in front? I have big rottweiler I dont think push kick would stop her unless you are very strong and big
Ahha: I saw an angry German Shepherd start to rush a person. The person lifted their knee just as the dog ran up into the person. The knee came up so hard into the chest area of the dog that the dog seemed to have gotten the breathe knocked out of him and he rolled over. Yes, the dog did get back up in a few seconds, but those few seconds were enough time for us to get a good stance and ready for the next attack.
@@novembers but which size is german shepherd and which size is person? Also probably person is Male so he has more power
It would be nice to train how to employ spray or taser with these other tips. Tbh I fear what would happen to my wife or daughter who are 100 and 60 lbs respectively with very little to no fighting skills...I mean my daughter Spars with me a lot but honestly they would both would end up running.
Great video! Do you mind me asking if you've ever been personally attacked or bitten by a stray dog?
@@syntaxerror8955 Good catch, I reworded the question. I keep making small mistakes like that because English is a foreign language to me. But I keep learning...
Most areas probably don't have stray dogs since they aren't tolerated like stray cats would be, more likely to be just dogs with careless owners if anything.
@@dubmob151 many many stray dogs in LA! Thousands. Rottweiler, presa canario all roam the streets there
@@AnnaKuznetzova88 opposite coast, different circumstance on the East side.
Tried to edit my comment, i said about 1 dog , was 2 how to protect your own pet from an attack from 2 dogs and yourself ? Was my real question? Sorry, thankyou!
Keep up the great videos. We'll trained poopies! I had a Dutch Shepherd, well trained & I sure do miss my poopy! Yes!!! Dogs have a 'GREAT SENSE OF YOUR ENERGY'! Only once did my dog pursue a man. Had I released my dog that would have been it. He was protecting me 100%, yet knew something about that man. It was later found that the man had just killed his grandfather. Later he returned to kill his grandmother. Would it be wrong to wish that I had responded to that man's challenge & released my dog? The grandmother wouldn't have been killed. My dog KNEW! Noone that knew my dog had ever seen him act so crazy towards anyone else before like that. He was my Angel! 🥺Corey!😇
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Your Friend Knew that the Human was a bad Energy and could smell blood perhaps also..
Dutch Shepherd is a very smart and loving breed!!
You can probably Thank your Pup,who maybe saved your Life,
By challenging this madman!!
I've had Keeshunds, and they're very good intelligent and easy to train for many kinds of work!!
The Dutch and Belgian shepherd dogs are much healthier as they're working dog, not bred for the show-ring!!
Bred for good health and temperament and can make a decision without the Human to Tell what to do!!
Namaste 🙏💞
basically irrelevant, because in most attacks, dogs just attack the weaker.
What country are you in? Looks like Grenada
Thank you so much for the video. Can you please give us your recommendtation what to do with a leashed dog in one hand? I can carry a stick with me, but i will be holding the leash of my dog on the other hand, that will limit my defence. how are we going to protect ourselves and our dog from stray dogs? Small dog owners take their dogs to their arms for protection, but i cannot carry our 60 pound dog, during a confrontation our dog tries to escape and it unbalances us, that means we have to deal with stray dogs and also our dog. We do not want to unleash our dog neither, as Istanbul has heavy traffic and he can be hit by a car if he runs towards the road. We do not know what to do.
Do you have an enclosed yard/area at home where you can exercise your dog (throwing a ball, tugging at a rope, dedicated training time) instead of walking into situations you could otherwise avoid? Otherwise you will have to take the time to train your dog not to run away so you can manage the situation without your own dog also working against you. You are saying “us” so if two of you are walking together with your dog, one should be in control of your dog and the other should be the one with the stick ready to defend. As a unit you have to show that you’re not a good target. That’s why in my videos on this topic I emphasized energy, demeanor, posture, etc. It matters. Lastly, even if you have a stick it’s only as good as your ability to use it, so I would practice (a lot) the techniques I showed and become very proficient with them. You have to feel that no matter what comes at you, if you get one solid strike with your staff/stick/baton, they’re not coming back a second time. It’s a game of communication. You just have to communicate with your energy, your body position, your sound (if needed), your strike (if needed) that invading your space is a mistake and not worth the consequences. It’s takes practice/ability. Take the time to become skilled because it will only serve you well in so many ways, even if you never need to use it. Stay safe. 🙏🏽
@@athleticengine thank you so much, yes by us i meant my husband and myself, sometimes we take our dog out together (though mostly i do it on my own), In one incident we (me, my husband and our dog) were attacked by a stray dog gang in a parking lot of a shopping area. We learnt afterwards that the restaurant staff and animal lovers are feeding them regularly at the area therefore the dogs saw the place as their territory. It was our first time in that area and we just wanted to drink coffee, didn’t know about the dogs. When the alpha dog barked, within seconds 6-7 dogs circled us running from around barking. It was very scary to be honest, my husband kicked the air, and started shouting to form a safe space for us. It did not help at all and when our dog got scared and pulled the leash, my husband collapsed on the ground (as in your video you say prey pose). A staff made some noise with chairs to resque us, just in time a dog was trying to grab his pant. To my surprise that staff was the only person came gor help, although the area was very crowded, i think nobosy wanted to take the attention of the angry dogs to themselves. Just in time of the distraction of noise, i immediately walked our dog back to car, while my husband stayed with the stray dogs to make sure they do not follow me or our dog. I should say we all were very shaken and had to take our dog to vet for a check up, as he was shaking so much it scared us. Thanks God there were no injuries. Now we moved in to an appartment in that area (a cosmic joke) and we need to pass these dogs to go to the seaside park, which we never dared since we moved in. I thought maybe we could try some time with your recommendtations / stick and kicking… There is a small park behind our appartment, which we use for our dog to socialise and play, still it is so unfair that our dog cannot go to that big seaside park which has facilities for dogs. On top of everything, now i am hearing from neighbours that in summer time stray dogs also visit this park we use to search for food, and i am not sure how good i will handle if i face one alone with my dog. 😔
@@aycagurelman I am a small woman and have been attacked by a Pitbull 2 times!! Always carry Pepper Spray!! This will only hurt the stray dogs for awhile but they will run away. Plus carry a staff or stick to protect you and your dog. The dogs I own now are about 50 pounds, but one is a big baby and the other is a hot shot and would probably start trouble with other dogs , so I am always prepared to protect them and myself. Please be careful with the packs of dogs though. Pepper Spray is the best bet! Good Luck!
Beware dogs can jump even a high fence.
When walking alone you should always have a firearm with you. A lot of coyote attacks in my area.
Your dogs are great! Loveable guys. Fun. But what about nasty attacking dogs of menacing size and we are losing but have pocket knife. Suppose one or two are hanging on you. What techniques, target areas to get em off you. Always being a victim against any attacker? Not is alternatives exist. No stick is usually handy, ditto cane. But pocket knife, maybe. Comment?
Rand: I would think a pocket knife would work and is better than nothing. Especially if you jam it towards the eyes or under the belly area. Remember that you want to disable an angry animal. A continuous jabbing of a knife WILL do something.
@@novembers Eyes might be a hard target, unless you have a dog locked onto your arm--in that case I'd say go for it definitely. Belly? You may not be in a good position to reach, and/or it may overbalance you to do so. Again, opportunity.
Neck....I daresay stabbing the throat will get desired results. Can grab them by the neck and throw down/choke as well.
Anytime a dog is off leash and attacks, SUE the owner and you will win 100% of the time. Off leash = $
I wear steal toe boots
I think a good sharp knife would attract less attention on the street than that club.
These are the best defence recommendations to this topic i have heard and saw so far 🐕🦺💪
