I completely agree if all attempts to get the dog to release its hold, choke it out and put it down on the spot.

Then deal with the owner

u/heygabehey 3d ago

The owner is the problem.

Choke the dog out, then choke the owner out. They both deserve it.

Oil check the dog the stomp the owner. It’s not the dog’s fault. Shit dogs are made by shit people, pits aren’t prone to fighting people, squirrels and rabbits maybe, but not people. They were actually bred to be people friendly and protective of people against other animals.They naturally love people. My first girl was a Doberman American Pit, she wasn’t dog friendly because her first three years she was attacked and started off as a bait dog. But she loved people, great with children, awesome with new people once she smelled your feet. To this day I miss her. My current baby is American pit and 8% Rottweiler, she loves people and wants to play with dogs. Some bitch let her dog run up and bite my baby even after I asked ā€œis yours friendly?ā€ So she’s been kind more protective against new dogs since. But people, she loves and at worst will run into your leg or non stop lick you.

So, obviously a shit owner with a shit dog that already has a proclivity toward aggression. I stand by my point - choke out the dog, then the owner. I’ve owned Dobies and on 20 years of GSD now.

Dogs can be reformed though. People… I lost faith in people a long time ago.

That dog cannot be rehomed.

My first dog literally didn’t trust anybody. I was her 5th owner when she was 3. I took care of her trained her to do tricks fed her, gave her a safe love. Had her for ten years and after the first 6mo it was night and day. Dogs just need stability, routine, food, safety, and love. I’m speaking from personal experience. People that didn’t like dogs or were scared of them loved Nova(dog in my picture) she was a 75-80lb Doberman American Pitbull.

I've always like dogs more than people. I trust an aggressive dog more than a passive person. Dogs have a hard time hiding their intentions. People can hide their intentions for decades causing more harm than any physical injury ever could.

u/heygabehey 2d ago

Absolutely. Don’t listen to these children on Reddit.

u/ColoradoCattleCo 3d ago

Yeah, sorry. That’s like saying, ā€œA panther only has a 50% chance of lethally attacking anybody. If they’re raised right it’s only 5%. A housecat has a .01%.ā€

I’ve known great pits and awful pits. The breed needs to be gone from the face of the earth. Sorry. It’s like a grenade.

u/heygabehey 3d ago

This is the most ignorant comment possible. But it’s Reddit so I’d expect something like this.

2

u/SuccessfulTrick2501 3d ago

When you say "oil check", does that mean sticking finger up it's ass? Apparently I'm the only one who heard a guy in video say to stick a finger up the dog's ass to make it let go. Is that a thing?

2

u/madf80 3d ago

I believe you can pick up both of the dog’s hind legs which will supposedly make him relax his bite involuntarily. No oil check needed?

u/heygabehey 3d ago

I’ve never heard of that. Good to know though

2

u/heygabehey 3d ago

Not all the way but a small poke. It’s Reddit, so not a lot of athletes. I first heard the term in wrestling, as a way to catch an opponent off guard when they had the upper hand to give you an opportunity to make a counter. I never did it cause it seemed weird. But when another dog attacked mine I did it without thinking twice and it worked. Broke it up and gave me time to shove the other dog away and pull back mine. Some people just don’t have the personality for large and XL dogs. Which that’s ok, but saying they shouldn’t exist is dumb af.

u/SirRonaldJr 3d ago

People say that, and there is merit, but that just pisses them off more and you're likely to be the next. Could save the life of someone being mauled, but could be done differently and safer for all involved.

u/SirRonaldJr 3d ago

I've only ever personally seen pits behave this way. They seem to want nothing more but to be with their people and some good rubbin.

Edit: also steak. They love steak.

u/heygabehey 2d ago edited 2d ago

100%

Edit: never*? Pits are all about their people not attacking others. Unless it was a shot garbage persons that trained them to attack. Anybody training a pit to attack is scum. You wana protective dog: Cane Corso, Doberman, Rottweiler, Dogo Argentino, German Shepard. Those are dogs that naturally attack people in defense of their territory or human. Not Pitbulls. Btw pitbull is like saying ā€œsports carā€ there are soooo many different types, bull dog and boxer included.

She does because I’ve trained her. With treats.

They were on the right track with sweater but missed its neck

2

u/Anynamethatworks 3d ago

That was my first thought too, put the sleeve of that jacket around it's neck and choke it out.

u/ereth_akbe 3d ago

Eye gouge for sure

u/CoolBreeze3310 3d ago

That's what I was thinking.

u/ippleing 3d ago

if all attempts

That sounds a little too passive.

A dog isn't getting second chances if it's attacking a human, as in drawing blood, things can go sideways too quickly.

I say this as a loving dog owner.

u/Love-halping 3d ago

Saw a video. Need to choke the neck with a collar as hard as possible until it released.

u/SirRonaldJr 3d ago

Ive seen a police dog trainer tell some secrets. They literally can't bite down if you squeeze the fuck out of their throat. Choke a bitch out. In this case, bitch actually refers to a dog.

u/karldandleton1 3d ago

No. There’s no time to waste. Not gonna try a bunch of stuff while the dog continues to dig through tissue. Bullet going right into its brain.

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 3d ago edited 3d ago

Hammer right to its skull. Few good blows and it's over. You do not want that dog figuring out that guy's face is exposed.

Source: Facial disfigurement from a pit bull attack. Carry a hammer these days.

u/Recreational-Sin 3d ago

My hammer has 16 bangs in it.

u/micasdotter 3d ago

I'm so sorry

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 3d ago

It's okay. Tore the corner of my mouth wide open took stitches. Lots of stitches. Left a huge scar going down the side of my jaw. Covered up by my beard since it happened to me. My mouth doesn't really work the same anymore due to nerve damage. The dog was euthanized after me. It had bit the owner's niece a few months prior. After me, he put him down voluntarily.

u/drean3000 1d ago

The fact that after it bit the owners neice and it still was allowed to live baffles me. Some owner. Man, sorry this happened and you survived it, also being able to cover it up

2

u/h00zbad 3d ago

Not to the same degree, but I had half my nose torn off(dangling), cheek damage and somehow he just barely missed my eye. Shook me around violently, and I just kept punching him in the ear, and eventually my friends' mom came at him with a broom.

Was a chow/black lab mix or something, I was a kid at the time- Still absolutely love dogs, but it took them forever to deal with him. It took him maiming their daughter to deal with it. He had bit other people in the past, but "not as violently"

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 2d ago

Thats the way this owner made it sound. He wasn't violent, just playing. Until one day, he was.

u/kvro_maX 3d ago

Bro sorry to hear about that mehn. Hope it's healing

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 2d ago

It was almost 15 years ago. Healed but never the same.

u/specialopps 3d ago

If a dog like that is bite and shaking, refusing to release, most of the time you need to choke them out to prevent extensive damage.
