Kick it very hard in a thrusting motion? Trying to fight a dog with a knife is asking for it to get a clear shot at your upper body.
A better option: tell your boss that the place is too dangerous.
jesus christ there are some dumb suggestions in this thread.
First of all, it's a fucking dog, and a big one at that. Don't try and manhandle it, you will get fucking mauled.
Secondly the old "grab it's legs and splay them apart when it lunges at you" is well recycled bullshit. I don't know if I told this story on here before, but when I was in school we had this white trash kid who used to talk about shit like that. One day he hopped someones fence looking to steal something probably, he got mauled by their staffie-pit w/e the fuck cross. There's a big difference between thinking you know how to do something and actually doing it under stress. And that's a small dog.
The best thing you can do is avoid the fucking problem entirely. Failing that, carry some OC spray and spray the mutt, dogs have really well developed olfactory systems, and because of that they are particularly sensitive to pepper spray, much more so than the average human.
Seriously this fighting advice is dumb. People use attack dogs against other people for a reason. Worst case scenario you would be better off wearing boots and kicking the fucking thing in it's dumb head than trying to asininely time its lunge on the off chance you are going to be able to grab its legs.
If the dog attacks you have full right to defend yourself. Kick it, spray it with paper spray, do whatever to disable it. It'll solve your problem. You may hurt it so much that it needs to be put down.
If you can't just avoid it completely then, alternatively, you could go the darker route you can let it bite you. Then you call animal control and demand it be put down. A bite automatically equals euthanasia. Besides, if she has a vicious dog that's a threat you'd be doing everyone a favor.
Kick the the dog. Hard and few times if you have to. A few good solid kicks should tell the dog that you're too much for it to handle.
Whatever happens, don't fall on the ground.
As others have said. Don't carry any weapons on you. Let the police know of this person.
[QUOTE=thejjokerr;45431148]I dont think you're allowed to carry a knife on you in the netherlands...
In the netherlands the post office isnt a state company anymore.[/QUOTE]
As far as I know you're allowed to carry a knife, as long as it's not a stiletto or another illegal knife. Just don't have it in bars, restaurants or other places like that.
nuke it from orbit it is the only way to be sure
If it does attack you, don't hold back, the more fucked up the dog is the less fucked up you'll be.
Kick it and don't stop kicking till it's K.O
I don't like saying this because I am a dog owner, but I know my dog doesn't try to maul the fucking mailman.
Knife. Keep it in a handy place, rehearse the wielding a little bit and you're good to go. Don't swing mindlessly when it's coming though, point it forward and wait for it to jump at you.
[QUOTE=LNKFAN;45417088]The only good way to defend yourself from a dog as tough as those would be lethal. Stuff like mace wouldn't phase them and it would only agitate it more, most likely. In an actual scenario, they dont fuck around and tend to thrash about after locking their jaws onto something.
Besides, once it attacks you unprovoked and in the open, without cause, is enough to warrant euthanasia. Report the owner or something, that sounds like a very terrible owner for a dangerous dog.[/QUOTE]
This.
1. Call the police, report her dogs behavior.
2. Call animal control/SPCA
3. Arm yourself with a knife/gun.
Don't let anyone's mental issues or aggressive pets intimidate you, you have the right to feel safe and defend yourself from batshit crazy people and their dogs like hers.
There is literally no way you could survive a fight with a dog like that unless you shot it. Your best choice for now would be to avoid the dog or learn how to act around aggressive dogs. Don't look at them in the eyes, don't turn your back (walk backwards slowly).
You don't want to be fighting a dog; It [i]will[/i] fuck you up. Dogs aren't the kind of animal that'll run away that easily either.
Also report the lady for owning such an aggressive dog!
[QUOTE=The fox;45423485]I usually carry a expandable baton with me for this very reason, many people let their dogs run loose, and specially larger breed ones. Heard of so many dog attacks, I ain't taking the risk, even if the cops will bust me for carrying it. I'd figured a few nice hits to the ribs and/or head area should at least make it stop, if it comes down to me having to use it.
CS/Pepperspray does not work on dogs, not sure if there are any specific types made to repel dog attacks, though.[/QUOTE]
Feather baton? That won't do any harm against a big dog

Remember that time some cop here shot a pit bull 14 times or so before it went down?
Call the police or whatever armed service you have available and have both the dog and the owner handled, releasing a dangerous animal will get you in trouble virtually everywhere.
Chances are that dog will eventually harm somebody, be put down and the owner will be sent to an institution for a while. Prevention is better than cure
hurr durr dog whistle
File a restraining order.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;45417093]Police are trained to basically break/dislocate both it's front legs by bending them sideways (upwards) if it lunges at you, which completely incapacitates the dog. I'm not saying I'm advocating breaking a dogs legs, but if you're being viciously mauled, it might save you.[/QUOTE]
Doing that to Alsatians or German shepherds will give them an instant heart attack. Best way to defend yourself from a dog like that.
I hope I never have to do such a thing but it's handy to know none the less.
[QUOTE=MR-X;45420835]I doubt it honestly, even with a Bite suit people still get puncture wounds and pretty gnarly bruises.
This guy was wearing a bite suit and still ended up with this [img]http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/userfiles/arm.jpg[/img]
It isn't my intent to start an argument, but I don't want to see OP hurt because of poor advice. A lot of people underestimate the power of a dogs bite. Rotts can bite with like 300+ pounds of pressure, they're pretty dangerous breed when it comes to be trained or encouraged to attack other people.[/QUOTE]
And yet a doberman can bite over 600lbs.
Get a taser or something OP.
Don't wipe for about a week. When the dog comes to charge, just turn around, bend over and moon the thing. Dogs have a sense of smell much stronger than humans, so I'm pretty sure it'd work 100% of the time, 60% of the time to incapacitate it.
A can of bear mace.

You might as well should just chuck your shit at it like a monkey if you're going to go all primal on them.

If an animal is posing a threat to your life you should be using deadly force.
[editline]20th July 2014[/editline]
of course that spray might be a good idea.
As much as I love dogs of all breeds, that dog needs to go. It's past point of rehabilitation. Carry a blade alongside something like bear spray. The knife should be serrated, not a hyper sharp blade, to allow for tearing cuts that cause severe bleeding.
Just stumbled across a related article in a magazine.
There's this guy who's been training dogs for a long time, used to be a chief of airport security and now leads a security agency. He says that he would kick him to death. Just don't try to go for the mouth, go for spots you can hit - kidneys, chest. If he's hanging on your arm already, rip his balls off with the free hand. He also said that if you jump with him in the water, he always lets go. And pepper spray is a certainty.
FUCK HIM RIGHT IN THE PUSSY
Give it a club to the skull and collapse its throat while it's disoriented, watch vile bitch cry.
In case you wonder no I do not like dogs.
Do the thing with the jacket that someone else said a while back, and when it latches on, squeeze its nostrils closed.
This thread just made me realize how many creative ways of killing dogs there are.
If you want a practical solution that will not harm the dog, carry a small spray bottle with ammonia in it. If the dog gets close, spray it near it, but not directly on it. It will back down and run away immediately.
this thread reminded me to apply for a job with the royal mail, cheers op
My experience with taking down angry dogs would be, kneel down and stay still, don't break eye contact while it charges you, as its about to jump on you throw your left hand under its head and grab its neck, while moving to the right, and use its momentum and your right hand to push it on the ground (While also keeping a firm grip on the neck with one or both hands to keep it from biting you, and finally if the dog is trying to break free put your right knee on its side (With just enough pressure to keep it down, not to hurt it.
The dog will squirm and get angry, but once you have them in that position they'll calm down as long as you keep calm. Its never failed me with dogs before and its always the most violence-free way to stop a dog rather than having to punch it or break its legs.
