In Prague with have almost no stray on the streets (which is so good cause people always choose to adopt!) but it's good to know what to do in such situations :)
Last summer we were camping with two friends of mine in Crete a Greek island and a random stray arrived near our tent. At first we were scared but we fed him and he became our companion during our stay all 6 days following us everywhere :)
This is so right! A great informative article. Never like NEVER run when an aggressive dog is in front of you and basically never turn your back at it ;)
To be correct to lift a dog can make the aggressive dog want to jump up after the little dog and it can end very bad, i would suggest to walk the dog another way and leave the aggressive dog, he will be left confused becuse you turning yoir backs
And if the dog attacks? Defend yourself. A dog may continue to fight even if you do a a considerable amount of damage to is so try to do things that will physically disable it. Try to pummel it with you weight and hopefully smash legs and crush lungs and ribs. If you get an opportunity to control it's head use all of your weight to crush the neck and legs. Think of dropping your weight down on on it as if you were taking a very aggressive kneeling position and be prepared to get back up and repeat, your arms may take a lot of damage, the dog may be more equipped to do damage so use body weight to your advantage.
In my family's case, in a small town in Brazil,part of the dogs territory is on our street. Even trying to walk our dog is a hassle. Neighbors feed them with doesn't help. And my mom sometimes leaves with a stick. They "lider" has nipped/bitten a few ppl. That town has always had a stray dog problem. And more then 1 group has bitten people. Nothing happens.
I get attacked by dogs a lot and they have an animosity towards black males for some reason, so that kinda makes it even harder, but I found that if you make very loud noises and acted crazy it might scary them off.
last year when I was in university a group of dogs attacked me they were 5 dogs I felt so scared they started to barking at me loudly...i was lucky that secrurity guards was present near me they rescue me from dogs ....
I was stalked by a Rottie while walking by myself. Growling, bristling fur - it started towards me and was distracted by an elderly man with a small dog, getting into his car. The dog started toward them and the fellow threw his little dog into the back seat, got in the car and got the heck out of there. Thwarted in that attempt, the dog turned back to me (I had stopped walking to make sure the guy got away). I turned my back on the dog and started walking at a leisurely pace, and with my hands in my pocket. I heard that dog growl right up behind me and I didn't turn around and I kept walking. My knees were like jelly, shaking so badly, but I knew if I turned around, the dog would jump. When a high-prey dog goes into attack mode, there's not much that will stop 'em. I don't know how long that dog followed me, because I would NOT turn around. I've seldom been as frightened as I was that day.
Once i was going and at the turn of the street i encountered a dog it was growling and distance was a few inches it was with a flock so the man saved me but what should i have done if it was a stray one
Even you speak wrong English
