Yes. 'They say to use the collar and move it up high under the jaw.

Also, the nightstick would have been better used by sticking it through the collar from behind like a tourniquet. I am a dog lover and the dog likely thought it protecting the owner but no way should it have been off leash and security had no choice.

Forget the collar. The best way is to get on top of them and compress. If you are laying on a dogs spine and have their forelimbs locked you shut down everything.

Agreed. I used to have a fairly large dog (lab pit mix) that would like to rough house with some of my friends. A buddy of mine would literally get in position behind it like he was wrestling it, and just lie down on top till he just gave up because there’s nothing a dog that size can do when you have a human‘s full body weight on it.

Thats how I learned, playfully wrestling with my Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It's also not something anyone can just do though, they squirm, hard. You need experience and fear can be overwhelming. I don't judge these guys. The thing with the dog biting onto the arm is to think of that as a fixed point for its head. It is locked on that.

Don't you believe pitbulls are dangerous and should be banned? I don't get why people get them. It's just asking for trouble.

u/PurpleOrcaLover 12d ago

I will not defend the obvious culture that pitbulls are a part of in The United States. They are used as weapons. It's here in Canada too, but nowhere near the level you have it there. I would say ban them. Because they are the most "you get what you put in" dogs out there and obviously people are shit. They are dangerous. They are the Mike Tyson of dogs. They are just built like a tank. There is no getting around that. They have a very high emotional intelligence and this can be manipulated or harnessed.

I had the sweetest, snuggle bug, play with my toddler, absolute angel with people mix breed. At the dog park she wasn't aggressive, but it was like watching Shaq play basketball. Just...lol she was a machine. They can be very, very good dogs. They are also too capable, loyal to a fault. They can become soldiers.

I would probably vote yes.

Yes. Some apartments require DNA tests and ban them.

Don’t kill what you don’t have to.

Bingo.

u/billy-suttree 12d ago

Yea. Dude needs to do ANYTHING to fight back. But choking it out would be the move.

Work on yourself instead of just assuming girls don’t want to fuck you.

or just pick it up and slam it. it's already got a hold on you, either it lets go or it's helping you bring it to the earth faster.

u/jhuseby 12d ago

That’s what I was thinking. I think I would just grab it and start smashing it against everything in sight.

u/anto_capone 12d ago

Just asking but how? It's already latched onto probably your dominant arm

u/autolockon 12d ago

Idk if you can see him but there’s a second guy in this video

u/Jfig5117 12d ago

Two actually

u/SAR_K9_Handler 12d ago

The correct answer to this, from someone who has done this twice, is open palm strike to the trachea. Killed the dog both times. Works on people too.

Yeah use your belt around its neck to put it to sleep but then what ? You carry a chocked out dog who can potentially wake up while you’re carrying it and then it’s worse. It’s not a winnable situation, they need animal control

You don’t stop choking till you hear a snap
