Got chased by a dog yesterday while running

[antyler]

Make yourself seem bigger than him. Keep him at bay by growling and barking back. I did it with a rottweiler once. Just kept screaming at him, and he finally took off. i was scared like no other though. stupid neighbors put a leash on your dog.

I fvcking hate pets.

I broke a dogs jaw once that chased me down. It was a ugly mutt, about miz size. It hauled ass at me for 50 yards barking and went for the bite. I swung and hit it in the face. Broke it's jaw, and my knuckle.

Since running can incite them, I'd stop, turn to face him/her, and draw my weapon. If the dog charged, I'd put a few through its skull until it stopped kicking. Then I'd call the police, and finish my run.

As to what you can do in the future, buy some repellent. I've heard it's pretty effective. No idea what quality this is, but it gives you an idea.

Hmmm, anyone else think stopping, petting the dog, and continuing the run may be better than beating the ****** out of it? Sure, if it attacks you, wail away, but a dog chasing you is not necessarily a dog attacking you.

I miss how petting it would be fun....

Oh that's BS he was obviously in mortal danger. It was fight-or-flight time. Every carbon based organism for himself.

On the serious side I think it's supposed to be understood that noone wants to run up and attack the dog unprovoked. All these colorful methods of dogicide are meant only for self defence right guys? Right?

 

[Whitecloak]

drop kick it or alternatively do the King Kong thing.

 

[Janet Reno]

Kick his eye.

 

[xSauronx]

totally do that thing with your fingers that crocodile dundee does in the movie

duh.

i got bit by a dog riding my bike, was being pursued by a group of them, still got the scars.

now if i get chased, i just stop my bike and look at them, they just stop and look at me with a puzzled look on their face.

Weird. I was chased by a dog while running on Sunday. A huge Doberman, not chained up or on a leash, saw me running past "his" house and cam charging at me across the yard and across the road. I'm not afraid of dogs, but this puppy must have weighed at least as much as I do, and was charging full bore at me. I slowed to a walk (don't want to pique his predatory instinct) and shouted at him to go home, which he hesitatingly did. I saw him again today and slowed to a walk before he noticed me so he wouldn't chase me again. Usually if you stop running and don't act afraid they'll realize you mean no harm, but still...

I would kick the dog squarely in the face. The impact, they say, confuses even the largest dogs that they just are stunned. Then you run away.

After almost being killed by a pitbull when a child, I am always ready to attempt to kill a dog that attacks me or is poised to do so.

Read up on google.

Military says you can snap their neck by pushing up on the top jaw with one hand and down on the neck with the other. Also, when you give them an arm, turn it upright so there's less of a likelihood of artery puncture then shove it further in.

Now I'm wondering if a half nelson would work on a dog.

You know those air horns you can buy for sports events? on some of them, you can take off the cone. The remainder will make an EAR-PIERCING SHRIEK that is worst than pepper spray to dogs. They will run and hide the next time they see you come down the street.

I would have simply accelerated until the dog couldn't keep up with me. I've done that to a greyhound, a cheetah, a peregrine falcon, and an F-15.

Hey, I was having a bad day

But still nothing! Why put up with that shlt? Call the dog warden and tell him you want the damn thing locked up, and the owner fined.

that is vicious

 

[sunase]

Whoa, can't believe someone recommended petting strange dogs. Oo You are pretty much guaranteed to get bitten eventually if you keep that up.
