"the odds of a dog randomly attacking you are actually really low"
I've tried walking to my job that's a 15 minute walk that passes two elementary schools in the suburbs and I've been charged at and bitten by dogs many times over the two years I've worked there. Now I walk with a stick, pepper spraying and if things get desperate, a gun.
Animal control didn't do anything and these dog owners are leaving them out all the times, better to take things into my own hands if nothing is gonna come from reporting loose aggressive dogs.
Not true
@@musaashfaq9530 apparently my experiences are lies according to someone who isn't me.
Not true. try being a cyclist collies are the wiredo dogs you need to watch out for the most ( through my personal experience anyway) as soon as i see a collie i prepare for anything to happen, never go empty handed!
The pattern suggests YOU are the problem
I was walking home a couple weeks ago and a dog approached me and came at me. He ran away but came back the next day. He ran at me and bit my leg. Took my copper water bottle and smashed his brains out. My neighbor had the BALLS to make it seem like I was in the wrong. Tie up your dog or expect it to die
There should be big consequences for dog owners like minimum 5k
If any dog draws blood from a human and 5-0 get involved the dog is to be quarantined and put down.
@@spoiledhotdogwater3687 yeah but the person that let that dog out should get the same quarantine n put down
@@spoiledhotdogwater3687 n the person that own the dog should be be lock up and charge with a criminal record
or they should be the ones impounded.
@@spoiledhotdogwater3687lol this isn't true depends on severity for sure but must dogs will get a one bite rule and if they do it a second time then they get put down.
Im very angry right now, ive expierienced so many aggresive dogs and they were all not on leashes, owners like that dont deserve dogs at all 😐
then file a lawsuit and the license tag of an owner's car will start it. Hire a lawyer .... you will need one.
I agree 100%
@Aaliyah you are clinically insane or so called american
Don't get angry, get even! Carry weapons on you at all times and if the dogs want a fight, you can use your weapons!
Yup always the case.
I can’t believe how little videos there are online about protecting yourself against dogs. A big dog coming at you is no less than a bear coming at you, it’s the same self defence, but you can’t go carrying around bear spray! So what’s the real answer!? The reality is 80% dog owners don’t train their dogs properly!
So what are you suppose to do if you’re walking a dog and a dog runs at you?
@@brandonb3174 I will tell you the answer, you be prepared in advance! You must realize it could happen to you so you become equipped with weapons in advance in case of a dog attack! I got both non- lethal and lethal weapons and you should do the same. Start with the non- lethal ones first and if it isn't enough then you need to use the lethal weapons.
you have to run towards the dog as if it was the prey. believe me, Im from Mexico and since I was a little child, Ive encountered an endless number of dogs aggressive and unleashed on the streets and on parks. The most dangerous dogs are the ones that are leashed by their owners or their owners are present because they feel at the top of the world and you dont want to hit them in front of their owners when they snap off and run towards you. It happens ALL THE TIME, dog owners are ones of the most POS people Ive ever met.
I hate most dog owners. They dont take responsibility for their dog.
Yeah. MY dog always feel like he is the big alpha of the world whenever my narcissist is in the house. I think he is purposely making my dog resent me, big time.
Precious soul you are. Precious they are too, precious he is, and i am as well. All of us are.
Well...back in 2006 me and my friends were playing paintball and all of sudden a aggressive stray dog charged into one of the players...the dog was shot multiple times until he let go, we called animal control and when they locate the dog...they just killed it with a gun...right in the head...not really what I expected of animal control, but what I learned is...when dog bites it is very hard to get him off you.
I would of done the same. Aggressive dog are dangerous around small children
i hate dogs
I'll take things that never happened for 200.

I learned nothing by watching this video. Nothing.
Exactly?!? Not very helpful
I walk in my neighborhood, as a few people do - some pushing baby strollers! A big black male dog crossed the street and came toward me barking aggressively. No person anywhere around. I started talking, then I pushed the button on my little plastic rechargeable alarm and it made a high pitched screeching sound and the dog kept its distance. An air horn would be better. If that fails, I would spray with my police grade pepper spray, which I would hate to do. Last, I carry a dog tazer which temporarily paralyzes a dog. This all sucks and I think I'm going back to doing cardio indoors. I see why many people don't go out walking.
Oh my :((( I hate when dog owners ruin the experience of DOGS as a whole for everyone due to their ignorance and negligence
Im getting a big male pitbull and letting him free to go bite people in the street
@@binkybinklesfuck dogs idk why they’re even pets in the first place they should all be put down
@@lasveon6497it’s more likely to bite you
I got chased by a dog and luckily outran it about 10 yards. I was fast enough and had enough distance to jump over a fence and run up a short hill. It was breath taking. Not a hair of it went on me but I was about to pass out due to shortness of breath. If I want to keep myself safe, I would keep myself away from any dog and any dog owner. I don't need viruses, parasites, and raibes on or around me.First thing I'd likely do is call animal control the next time I get chased.
@jacob floresI’d rather live a safe life without weaponry to not cause injuries or possibly death to such animals, even if untamed. Plus, even though a dog or any animal would attack, I would never lay my hands on any gun. Life of an animal is precious (not more than a human though, but it still doesn’t make any difference). Having a ‘gun’ would just cause other people to think that a threat is right there. Get this whole ‘gun’ thing out since even the use of it would be a cause of animal abuse (even if it was just for defensive reason/s).
@Aaliyah That's not true. I got severely bitten by 2 dogs last year, here in Texas, and spent my whole summer in agony while my wounds were healing. The police were able to finally separate the dogs from me, otherwise I would have died. And guess what, they only tested the dogs to see if they had rabies and as they did not have rabies, the dogs were taken back to their owner! They did not euthanized them, even though those dogs are very dangerous. And another thing, there is this law here in Texas that says that if it's the first time a dog bites someone, well, you cannot sue the owner. The first bite is free!!! So, I could not sue the owner, I spent 3 months in agony, without being able to walk, with bleeding wounds and those dogs are still in my effing street!
@@Mohammad_Ali__ stupidest thing ever
That sounds horrible. We're your medical covered at least?
Same thing just happened to me . Came here to prepare myself for future incidents.
Literally almost attacked by a dog the other day kept moving around. The owner was not around and there was a random kid riding bike, owner finally whistle for the dog when noticed it wasn’t around, it could have been worse.
This happened to me today
Just happened to me I was ready for it to attack you never know what you’re gonna be like until you’re in that situation especially if the dog is big and could quite literally hurt you badly luckily the owner finally came out after 3 minutes of a Western stare-down it almost bit my ankle too but I took boxing and I’m decent with my footwork all I would say is if it is about to attack you better move fast and subdue it by it’s neck and call for help
He says use motion, run don’t stand still, but u never wanna run from an aggressive dog unless u KNOW u can reach an area to get up away from them. Most of the time u WILL NOT be able to outrun a dog, ur best bet is to stand ur ground and don’t show fear.
Walking away issa better option
Yup. Stand still don't look at it in the eyes. Walk away facing towards it. Prey drive is no joke. And do not move your arms
Showing dominance to the animal, and if it bites you, kicking him under the chin
Would u aim for the windpipe? Like exactly where? Do you kick from the side soccer kick or straight kick to the face kind of?
Unfortunately, not a lot of people out there understand your advice much less have the reflexes to make it work.

What a gross username too lol (yours is kinda gross too honestly no offense) @@spoiledhotdogwater3687
Anyone who is reading this: Go search the internet about what to do when a dog attacks you. These self-purported experts have no idea. For example this guy here says not to remain still, but the majority of sources elsewhere tell you not to run away. The only thing about which there is consensus is to avoid making eye contact.
Yeah, a lot of the stuff I can find is saying to stand still sideways from them and not make a move, as they'll see it as you trying to attack back.
Granted, maybe this is referring more to stray/wild dogs and not pets, as wild dogs likely will attack without warning while pets will warn you 1st, but idk.
I do know I've been approached by neighbors' dogs, and each time, I've stopped and stood there and nothings happened. Or maybe I'm lucky 😅, but each time the dog just stops barking and runs back home or the owner calls them back. I can never outrun them so I don't try to.
I carry Hardcore Pepper spray, a stick I made myself and a silent dog whistle. I was attacked by a pitbull once and sent me to the hospital, now I know it will never happen again because the one ending in the animal hospital will be that next pitbull . and people stop letting your dogs run in the freaking park without a leash. because your dog will be the next one getting hurt for sure not me.
Pull out your piece, and give that worthless thing a dirt-nap.
Facts.
🤣
Think very, very hard before taking your dog to a dog park. Bad things can happen to your dog that you may not be aware of.
These tips helped me out a lot already! Yesterday, I went for a walk with my baby when a stray dog approached us and started attacking us. I didn't have a backpack for distraction, but... let's say, in the end I was unharmed and am looking forward to my new baby.
Oh
Do anyone else get annoyed by these lame attempts at TH-cam comment jokes?
@@youngjdet No, I thought it was pretty funny.
This felt like a Family Guy joke for some reason😂
Nice.....
Today I was enjoying a Saturday night walk, suddenly 2 dogs came out of nowhere and started barking at me. However, I barely managed to escape, now I will carry a pepper spray with me at all times.
You said turn around and run? Ok
Yeah, turn your back and run from an animal that is overwhelmingly faster than you, on average.

Keep your chin held high! Know who you are and who that creature is and say... All thanks is due to the One who made me and you!

You are the one, it will never be it, tho it does try.
Smile!
It can't come close to who you are!
How is being bitten by a dog rare?????? You mean the exact opposite
I carry a backback full of dog treats. Thatll stop them from going after me. If that doesnt then, i have a backpack glock as well
💪
Basically what I got out of this video is 1. Move around a lot. 2. Give them an object, not you, to attack instead…. Well, thanks. I’ll just improvise.
Today I was walking my dog past the house of a rottweiler owner who doesn't keep the dog on a leash. The dog came out towards us, so I diverted my course not to walk in front of their house and kept walking away, thinking looking confident and walking away would be the best move, but the dog came up and bit my poodle on the back leg anyway. I screamed loudly twice and the dog ran away. But I was very rattled by the experience. Luckily my dog is okay, the skin was not punctured. I heard a dog whistle as the Rottweiler was coming out of the property, so I hope the owner heard my screams and realized that they really need to keep their dog on a leash, at the very least. I am now afraid to walk past that house again. It's a shame as there are only two directions for me to walk my dog and that's one of them. I have no clue why someone would want a dog like that, who would hurt someone else's dog.
I'm scared to walk my dog full stop. There is nowhere i can go where I won't come across some idiot with an off leash dog they can't or won't call back. My dog is desperate for exercise but I'm so sick with anxiety at this point , I don't want to go out. Every time, every single time. I'm so tired of it.
The simple strategy of fooling the dog into attacking your knapsack rather than you is a handy tip.
I'm currently a dog groomer but I do have a story outside of dog grooming where I walked outside to my shed to go smoke and randomly a black lab and a Grey pit bull came out of no where down the street they stood about 20 feet away from me and the pit bull snarled with the lab right behind him. I stood there contemplating what to do as the pitbull didn't seem very friendly. A moment later they both charged directly at me and I didn't move a muscle and just stared at the dogs they stopped about a foot in front of me looked at me and just ran off. Dogs can sense emotions and most of them just want someone to feel comfortable with them aggressive, anxious, or hyper whatever the case may be but I'm not saying this is always the right choice to make either haha
the LAW and not a dog trainer will determine what happens when you hire an attorney and file a lawsuit. Carry pepper spray and know how to use it instantly and with no hesitation. You are NOT required to be popular with a strange dog or person.... you are looking out for you!
Another video says to stand still, but this one says to move around.
I think 9 times out of 10, an "aggressive" dog is simply sending a warning -- running up to you, barking etc., but never actually biting (had many dogs do this to me, but never been bit). If you run in this case, you will make things worse as their instinct is to chase and possibly knock you down once they reach you (happened to my younger brother, but still he never got bit).
My advice would be to simply keep walking.
In the Netherlands here. Peppers pray is not legal and I can't carry anything to protect myself too. I wonder what to do to defend my dog that was charged 3 times already. Luckily I managed. But there will come a day that I won't be that lucky. It's very frustrating
Im not sure but i think you can use tazers or loud noises to scare it away, or maybe your phones flashlight to blind the aggresive dog temporarily
Keep a knife on you and stab them in the eyes and slit their throat. People will start to watch their dogs if they come up dead.
Same here in norway. Idiots have understim dogs off leash! Narcissism is rising, we should be allowed to carry to mitigate for that!
I don't know if this helps with dogs... but I have a powerful flashlight to keep creepy men from coming closer lol
Can you carry wasp and hornet spray in the Netherlands?
I just encounter a dog I thought its in leash but I when i approach little by little its unleash I start panicking I feel my body is so weak because of fear I move back very slowly until I reach my destination but I need to go back again and I need to encounter that dog I thought that I can't get home because the dog is in the way luckily the couple help me out
Just bite them back
using a distraction won't give me time to run away, it gives me time to show who’s superior
A few dogs are trained for attacking but most aren't. # 1 don't show fear or make a quick move. Keep on talking in a normal tone , to an invisible person while continue walking away to something of safety, this bewilders the dog move toward something high in case you need to move up away . Never has any dog bitten me or been aggressive with violence, with a bark yes as a warning. And I've had many encounters with dangerous dogs , but they all standed down. Instinct , a gift one learns by associating with them since two. Of course there are the exceptions , you can sense when a animal is near crazy and be quick and strong .
They start bark8ng and attacking me wjat can i possibly do
@@artmist6901 let them bite you and jab there eyes out then sue the owner, or pick up a stick.
@@mcabortion5703 ha, okay dismissive karen. Literally had my balls bitten by a dog. Maybe i can dismiss you with my gun

Stay calm and "in control". If they sense fear, that can escalate. Once they begin to get in attack mode, its hard to calm them down. Usually they will "check you out" and move on... if you stay calm.
Dog do attack. The statement of TV guy that chances are less is not true and misguided. Unleashed dogs are more aggressive than stray dogs. Especially person of short stature, kids alone and older people should be more careful. Unless trained, dogs can definitely be aggressive.
I just got approached by two off leash dogs and I was scared as heck as I was on a bike path on a field by myself playing Pokémon go and by miracle I saw a cop car drive by and waved him down and he came and the dogs ran off to their home where they came from and the police gave the owner a ticket
Sweet
That was hilarious 😂. No offense but you made your self sound like a wuss and and a introverted gamer. "I was on a trial PLAYING POKEMON GO"
Thats the problem just a ticket the consequences should be minimum 5k
The dogs ran away when they saw the police!?.....😄
Grabbing the back legs is usually not a great idea? Would the not turn and bite if they are engaged with another dog? It’s pretty terrifying when dogs get aggressive but thank you for making the video and I like the air horn and spray as an option.
Exactly. You would be putting your hands within the range of a bite!
I got attacked by a dog at my old apartment complex that was always angry and never on a leash. It was 30 yards away and still charged and attacked. It's interesting to me how owners who refuse to follow leash laws are the same ones with aggressive dogs.
I’m sorry woman, but you think giving a dog a backpack or something will give you enough time to run away? you think you’re gonna outrun a dog??
'Don't stay still' - I have news for you, running away doesn't work either.
What to do when stray dogs try to attack me when i am
walking my dog
Bring 44 magnum
Airhorn works beautifully on warding off aggressive unleashed dogs. I also carry pepper spray as a plan B.
I can't have defence weapons in my country, but a powerful flashlight can still blind people/animals even during the day.
Telescopic riot baton. Same size as a flashlight and does the trick 100% of the time.
Luckily I live in a state where it's legal to shoot an aggressive dog dead before it bites.
i fought a dog once it bite my forearm had knife on me since i was in wilderness mange to stab it in the neck but that bite mark is still here
my city has had a problem with stray dogs, they were EVERYWHERE
now the rate declined but they're there still...
i'd usually hold still, hands up look at them without eye contact, let them sniff you and they'll be on their way in no time
i've seen people and their ways on how not to deal with such dogs, kick them and show signs of aggression while the dog would test them, see if they're a threat only to see that they are indeed one
What kind of evil person would kick a dog
I now live in a country with tons of stray dogs. Never saw any dog being aggressive. Most of them keep their distance all the time, even when you try to help/feed them.
This is what I've done: if a dog is not on a leash and they look they might attack I yell at them to stop. I look them in the eyes and keep yelling stop. Sometimes you don't have the time to do this so having a purse or bag they can chew on helps.
@@orangygrapefruit7466 me if neccesary
Try to back off while giving command. Once it’s clear the dog isn’t being territorial but is actually focused on and attacking you. Pull your gun and shoot it. Come on people this is the U.S. everyone has a gun.
I am thinking of carrying paper spray
Don't leave home without it!
You telling me my man will run away from the dog once the dog goes for the object 😂 okii then
The back leg thing its a big NO NO
Don't let go of the bag...keep it as a barrier
Next, what do you do when a Karen attacks!
They just said, bear spray or pepper spray. Don't let a Karen bite you. And call animal control. These vicious creatures must be catched.
I always keep my taser handy for those situations.
It's best to just resign thank get fired from your job
My answer is a CZ P10C....
Some owners don't use a leash
How about showing No Fear and charging towards dog ?

ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THAT! Anyone can call themselves a Dog Trainer. I am going through a VETERINARIANS Advice.
If you run, as he stated, the dog will run after you!
Well the dogs in my street are generally docile but today I was with my cat and she followed me outside the house and one of the dog saw then others came aggressively , I kicked the dumb cat inside the house , the dogs still didn't go away but they quickly turned away as soon as they see me coming with a stick
Next thing I see was them barking on a street artist ( Not usually their behaviour) hope they don't have any grudge against me
I had a rot come at me today at work Amazon delivery and I just stared him down and he ran away you can’t show that you scared
That woman knows what she's talking about. Judging from her pants 😁
What da dog doin?
You can walk calmly, but these dogs dont go away. They want to attack.
Avoid eye contact. Stare straight ahead in the direction you are heading.
What if the dog charges and you dont see him?
What the dog doin?
You would be locked up in the UK for carrying a sprayer.
Let's see: dog bite or locked up? I choose locked up. If a government makes it illegal to defend yourself, it is NOT legit. It is a dictatorship.
What's the deal with socialists wanting to disarm all of the "law abiding" citizenry? Wait, nevermind, it's called the Nanny govment protecting the poor whittle Sheeple.

All excellent advice. As far as attacks being rare. true, but that does not help when it happens. I love animals. But I also carry a gun, because if else fails, I am not going to let a dog maim myself or a family member.

Today on my own driveway a big loose dog no owner anywhere started jumping up me and was stopping me from moving anywhere andnit wouldnt leave me alone. It was hurting me by jumping ip so hard. I managed to get to my front door and tried to get in without it but it barged in the house. It went in to the kitchen and ran riot scratching everything. I didnt know if to keep it in to find owner but it was manic and my dd was there and we disnt know dog and disnt want her bitten plus we have two cats it could of attacked ao i felt i had to get it out. I tried to phone council but no answer. I feel sad i now have no trust in dogs. Sad for the dog whose owners must of let it down. It didnt know commands so would not sit etc. My legs tonight as i am on blood thinners are purple with bruises and i feel violated and scared because it almost over took me. Just saying. No sorry from any owners and one confused in life dog
Dog not me
Ps hope my cat poops in that dog owners garden .... twice
I'm sorry you are in pain but happy the dog didn't do worse, or harm your child.

It isn't! It could be ANY breed!
@@QUICKBOOKS1True. All dog breeds are dangerous and are a menace to society.
@@QUICKBOOKS1 Pit bulls attack other dogs and cats more than all other breeds put together!
1) Stand still, as tall as you can, with your hands open, and out to prove you are not a threat.
2) If the owner is there, tell the owner to call the dog off!
3) Make Eye Contact with the dog to make yourself look Dominant.
4) When it backs down, how ever long that takes, point away from you, and tell the dog to back off.
5) When it does, don't run, but walk away, Most important DO NOT LOOK BACK!
6) Finally,and most important, call others who might not know those techniques, to tell them to stay away from that Neighbourhood, if the dog is in a yard.
Yes, I was in that same situation 6 weeks ago. Once I got home, I called my Brother, who has two small children and a new Puppy, and told them where to avoid. Regardless of breed, it might be aggressive.
Ignore it. Its non existant far as i am concerned.
Well . . . not very helpful . . .
Here in the uk everyone has xl bullies, but they treat them bad, dont train them so now they are a banned breed, but they are everywhere and its the same idiots that own them, mostly. I saw a couple with one she was a puppy and they were scared to let her meet my dogs l, i sais it fine let them meet, she just wanted to play but they said noone will let their dogs near her 😢
I have a gun 🤣

I usually carry a pocket knife, if a dog attacked me and my kids I'd be stabbing that thibg like I'm in a Scream movie and walk away without guilt too. No way on earth ill let a dog attack me and mines
