Right; so if you don’t have a shotgun in your pocket, just flap your hands ineffectually and squeal like a girl. That’ll help.

Oh, well I guess that works just fine if you have long elegant legs.
To: nkycincinnatikid
Yeah...I saw that too and said the same thing. I’d have never thought to stick the handle up the dog’s butt but playing “Whack-a-mole” with the business end makes sense.

Bought a couple canisters of pepper spray so the wife and I would feel safe on our walks. A couple neighbors have pitbulls and seem to have difficulty controlling them.
Anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not pepper spray would be effective with this breed?

Look, I’m trying to get helpful information out there, based on my personal experience and the experiences of other pit bull owners. I don’t have a problem with shooting an attacking dog; you could use my advice to get the animal into a position where you could get a clean shot off.
As much as we all love to hear about how you’re going to hit the dog with napalm and then stick your 50 cal up it’s nose, I think my way is a little more practical.

You have some experience with it, and that always beats the person with a theory.

He put the shovel handle up the pit bulls anus and pried open his jaws? WTF? While the article made it sound that way, I do believe he made two separate attempts, first up the anus and when that failed tried to pry the jaws apart. I am sure if he got the shovel up the dogs anus to his jaws the dog would have noticed!:)

Thanks. :-)
I forgot to put in my post, the dogs I have grabbed that way have always let go of the other right away; I don’t know what they would have done if they were holding on to something light enough to drag...

"...Monday he heard childrens screams of help, help, while walking home from a friends house near the trailer park..."
Sounds like they need some very special folks on patrol in that area.

Do Blue Hippos love their spoons as much as Walruses love their bukkits?

Works with full grown male Dobes, too.
Unlike LEL, I’m short and well within their reach so if the dogs had wanted to, they could’ve easily turned around and bit me but they did not.
Being hoisted off thrown balance like that seems to take the fight right out of them.
