What do you do if dogs are chasing you??

Brain of J.Lo

I was just out for a walk with my 18 month old in her stroller, and these two huge, mangey-looking dogs came out of nowhere and started chasing us. Finally, they got sidetracked and I was able to take off in another direction and lose them, but it was really fucking scary!!!!

I just felt really vulnerable, and even though they didn't attack us or anything, I just want to know if there's any surefire way to make them or other scary dogs get the fuck away from me if it happens again.

Or throw the baby at them and run the other way. They won't hurt the baby, so you can pick him/her up when the dogs leave....I don't have a serious answer for you, sorry J Lo ..

There you go..

I've heard if you are ever attacked by a dog, you can grab their two front legs and its easy to break their rib cage by pushing the two legs apart... Hopefully I'll never get to that point though. I love animals.

Sounds like you get off on dog anal!!! ....remember to be humane at least and use lube

you should never run from a dog. It brings out their natural instinct to catch the thing that is running from them.

ask bill nye the science guy maybe he knows....

This actually happened to me...

While I was being swarmed by wasps (don't ask) a dog came charging towards me and my friend.

I'm no Dog Whisperer, but I was pretty sure this German Sheppard/Doberman/wolf wasn't coming to my rescue.

Since I was pre-occupied with the angry wasps and instantly realizing that a wasp/dog attack could be one of the worst ways to die, I was grateful for what Ian did next.

He turned straight towards the charging beast and bellowed, "SIT!"

And I'll be damned, but the dog did just that and stayed that way 'til we could get the hell out of Dodge.

Of course, this won't work for every dog, but it's worth a shot.

So true. My dad and I were hiking in Denmark when these two guard dogs jumped over their fence and attacked us. I almost peed myself and instantly hid behind my dad (I know, I was chicken!), who very impressively yelled things like SIT and DOWN and... it worked. They didn't sit or anything, but they kind of backed off and didn't bite. Thank God for that. I like well-behaved dogs that I know, but guard dogs, especially ones I don't know, always manage to scare me. I was chased down a country road once by one, it leapt up, but didn't manage to get a hold on my jeans. I have never cycled as fast again.

I would recommend Pepper Spray

or buy yourself a big ass Rottweiler to walk with

When I worked for the phone company, I was in a lot of backyards. The first thing I would do upon entering any yard was look for high ground. Something i could jump on if a dog was let out of the house. And of course, I always knew where the nearest fence to hurdle was. On the street, think the same thing. Jump on the nearest car or sprint to the nearest fence, a high fence a dog can't easily leap over

Difficult when you've been startled and more so with a young child but all you can do is be assertive and show no fear (I know, easier said than done). Animals won't go into a fight they don't think they can win.

A lot of dogs back off when you let them know that you're bigger than them. You know how people say dogs can actuallt smell (sense) fear, they say it for a reason.

This sometimes work. Even shouting the dog down will work. I've done this before and it's made me look like a fucking nut, just shout/bark back at a barking dog who's chasing you. I find this very hard to do because I hava a fear of dogs. I fucking hate the creatures (except labradors), but it does work.

I don't know...luckily Ive never was in this type of situation. I would probably run too. But I think I heard you shouldn't do that. Well I'm glad you and your daughter are okay

iluvcats

you were lucky they were sidetracked.

my neighbors sometimes carry sticks when they walk around our neighborhood.
I never do, I just carry my cellphone and pray nothing bites me.
