If a dog has been trained in a police dog style of attack there is little you can do to stop them other than curl in ball to protect your head and neck. Fighting, running and screaming will only agitate him. If you sense the attack coming, stand very still and block your body with a bicycle or backpack.

Always keep your body out of the fight. If available, the best way to break them up is to turn a hose on and water them down. If that is not an option, make as much noise as possible to cause the dogs to become distracted.

One of the most crucial things to remember during a dog attack is to remain calm. Do not try to run away from the dog unless it is possible to get to safety fast - somewhere the dog can't follow you.

Some dogs can exert over 2,000 lbs of pressure with their jaws, so you will not be able to loosen a "killing" bite, especially without getting bitten yourself. If a dog is not truly trying to kill, though, the best approach is to grab the dog's back legs. It's hard to fight doing a handstand.

I have a few ideas on how to do this. First is poke it's eyes out with your thumbs. Second is kick it in it's neck before it reaches you. If there's anything in reach you could possibly use it as a weapon. If your arms are available choking said animal might be effective.

My husband tried to break up a dog fight one time and was bitten severely. Dogs are usually in a rage when they are fighting. It's almost impossible to break up a dog attack, especially with a larger breed. While outside, keep a leash on your dog for better leverage. A killing dog needs to be euthanized.

If a dog is trying to attack or kill a human it is probably best to put it down. If it is trying to kill other dogs you need to keep it controlled at all times.
