  • 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.

    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 :)..

    So thoroughly wrong but I almost hurt myself laughing.

    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 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.
    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

    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.
