Assuming you're unarmed? If it's going to bite you anyway, why not shove your arm into it's mouth and defeat it from the inside. If the dog is small enough and your arm long enough maybe you can spit roast it on your arm.

I stopped reading after a couple posts. Here's why:  I'm a much bigger animal than a pit bull. I'm not gonna plan on what to do if a pitbull attacks me, because it probably wouldn't work out with too much thought put into it. I would just kill the fucking dog.

I really hope all these badasses are around to save the likes of us mortal humans against any aggressive pit bulls in the future.

You would at least want to try to get hold of its collar and cut off air supply or something.

I'd kill a dog

stopped two dogs attacking (actually trying to kill) each other once and only got bit twice.

why is boredstiff, the guy who wears dresses, telling everyone they are pussies and wouldn't do shit to an attacking dog?

Best thing to do is go ahead and give it your arm and go for a choke. You could try to break a limb but then the dogs gonna let go of one arm and bite the other. I've heard people say to take your shirt off and wrap it around your arm. But who has time for that in a fight with a dog?

Give it your arm, take it to the ground, RNC. It's gonna kick and scratch like a motherfucker, but it's better than getting bit twice. so just crank down till he stops kicking and goes limp.

This.

Let it bite your forearm, but with your palm facing you, so its teeth hit bones, and not the arteries between them.

after that, wither choke it, or idealy break its neck.

---

you will not choke a dog out, especially while it has one of your arms and
you will not break a dogs neck unless you're dealing with a small breed
with a small neck like a chihuahua

I've wrapped my dog up and held him on the ground no problem to keep him from killing other peoples dogs. I know it's a little different when they are trying to kill you, but it didn't seem like there was shit he could do as long as I held on to the neck. Maybe the best you can hope for is to restrain it. I admit big dogs seem to be somewhat choke resistant.

Yeah I don't know where the "break it's neck" thing came from, not gonna happen. And in reality most people are to scared to try some shit like that on a dog. You'd probably have to be in survival mode just to hold on to it.

If you have the time: Wrap your shirt, coat, or sweater around one of your arms and try to get the dog to bite that somewhat protected arm.  With the other hand reach for your pocket knife you always carry and go to town.

You would get mauled and probably bleed to death if you tried to physically fight off a pit bull that means business.  I don't give a flying fuck how badass you think you are.  I understand fight or flight, I passed several years of high school and university science.  I get it, ok.  But I've also observed these dogs enough to know with great certainty that your chances are extremely slim of effectively combating a dog.  Am I saying, once the bastard has you in his teeth, to just let it kill you?  No.  Of course not.  You would at least want to try to get hold of its collar and cut off air supply or something.  Breaking sticks will pry their jaws open if they clamp down on something like your arm for example.  But once you get the dog off of you, it's just going to keep coming back for more.  They don't give up easily at all.  It's a wonderful reprieve from reality to imagine that, if faced with this situation, you would go Hulk and throw the dog around with your amazing adrenaline strength and catlike reflex but, unfortunately, the dog is going to be more instinctual than you are.

Your only real hope is to be armed in some way or have enough presence to have the dog stand down using body language - which is also very dangerous and not likely to work if the dog has ill intent in the first place.  Pits are pretty bad about attacking off their own property if they're the sort to attack in the first place.  Most good pits aren't going to be like that toward people, should they happen to break out of their yard or house, but will make quick work of cats or other smaller dogs.  It's just the breed.  I still love them.  All dogs have the capacity to be just as violent as the worst pit, they just aren't all as capable of inflicting the damage.  Most pits are extremely loving toward people with even minimal amounts of training.

Good post.

I used to walk a pitbull and bull mastiff mix.  It lived with two other dogs, both of which I walked on leash, but the pit/mastiff I walked off-leash, per the owners' instructions.  People got insanely angry at me, screaming at me, picking up their kids and running, etc., when they saw me coming. And to be honest, I can totally understand that reaction, seeing that big thing charging into the vicinity of your six-year-old daughter is going to terrify you as a parent. But it was an extremely obedient and friendly dog.  I used to wrestle it full-strength in the house, going down on all fours and giving it everything I had, and always had a great time of it.  This dog had been used in fights before, too, but it had been really well rehabilitated and trained.  It's really all about the owners, I have quite a bit of experience with pits and other breeds that are considered scary, and they're some of the most intelligent dogs you can find.

This pit/mastiff did mount another dog once, though, while I wasn't paying attention.    He was neutered anyway, so it was all in good fun.
