Avoid its teeth, Dogs aren't really that dangerous of an animal compared to a wild animal, there are reasons why they are domesticated and sold as pets. Cause they really aren't all that threatening. We aren't talking about a wolf, a bear or another frightening wild animal. Unless the dog is a dog trained to attack someone they tend to be fairly harmless.
There are plenty of stories around about professional dog handlers choking out vicious dogs while avoiding the jaws. I think an MMA fighter recently did one that made the news.
I'm not sure...I wrestle with my ridgeback all the time, and he plays rough, where he's trying really hard to grab my hands. Even when I'm drinking, I'm usually fast enough to get to his throat if I use both hands. The trick is to use both hands, using one as a distraction and move the other in until you get close enough to grab it. Hook your hand under his chin and he can't do anything about it.Possibly . . . but on the Bell Curve of dog-human fights these would be on one lonely end of the curve.
Anyone with any real life experience KNOWS how damn fast a dog can be when it want to bite you -- faster than most of us non-MMA fighters here.
For most all of us here, reaching for a dog's throat would get you bit, repeatedly, before you could do a damn thing.
Next up: Zombies, followed by zombie dogs, and then:
The most important self-defense scenario of all!

Your ridgeback in not in attack mode, he is playing with you. Watch two dogs play fighting, they allow the other take-down moves that would never happen if they were serious.
Your tussels are a game to him, and YOU are the Alpha animal to whom he will defer.
Try sticking your hands in to break-up a dog fight just one time. You never will again.
When they are SERIOUS, dogs are freaking quick with their strikes. I'm not saying sometimes some pros haven't anecdotally won that battle, just that most of the rest of us would lose almost always.
Generally speaking, dogs are quicker than joo.

How to Defend Yourself Against a Dog Attack

[FONT=Verdana,sans-serif]Here are the facts about defending yourself against a dog attack. [/FONT]
- If the dog is a trained personal protection or police dog and it is a good specimen: You have no chance. All of this nonsense about kicking the dog at the right time is baloney. Your best chance of surviving is to stand absolutely still. If you are unarmed, and you try to fight the dog, you will lose. The dog is fast enough to bite you two or three times before you even realize where you've been bit. And by then... it's over.

I've had and been around dogs my whole life, I have walked dogs my whole life, and I was never attacked. I was approached once by a aggressive dog that I felt might get a little nuts while walking my dogs. A small shot of pepper spray on the snout drove him away. In a few other instances I just stood my ground and there was no problem.

I'd be willing to give it a shot if they came to me!:hmm: Might be kind of fun.
