Seems like most expect the dog to jump up and latch onto your arm. The one I fought didn't. It simply kept lunging in every so often at my leg as we faced off.

I guess your average family pitbull isn't trained or smart enough to come in leaping up at your arms/neck.

its gonna bit ur hand and arm before you can injure the eyes. honestly i dont see a limb not in jeopardy when fighting pitbulls, and other large aggressive breeds.

ITT people who have never gone 1 on 1 with any animal, let alone a dog bred to be a bad mofo.

You underestimate the speed of dogs running after a target. Go look at some runt running faster than even the likes of Usain Bolt could run and its just chasing a fukin ball or stick. You're gonna have to think real quick and react faster when you see the dog coming and then process whats happening. Most people freeze up because they're desk jockeys and their caveman hunter instinct is buried beneath whats on television and the internet.

So then you about to go down with the dog. LOL @ you kicking a dog as it runs full pelt at you and you run or kick full pelt. Bad idea because you're going to break your foot, ankle and leg in one go and possibly dislocate your hip. Try fighting a dog whilst being a cripple, you're dead meat.

You kick a dog in the sides if it isn't attacking you, never front on. Just LMFAO!

Other messy details - dogs can chew through your arms and legs like they chew through any toy or bone. Think that tasty bone marrow or your tattoos gonna stop those teeth? Nope.

Blood loss: nuff said.

If you want to tackle a dog 1 on 1 you need to get rid of its ability to bite you. Dogs are fukin useless without their mouths. They are not cats so just muzzle them or choke them with your legs and bodyweight.

Saying that, gun or knife works but who says you're gonna see the dog before it gets you?

I have had a pit bull attack me.

Luckily I saw it before it could get at me unaware. I was working on my lawn mower on the driveway and had work boots on.

It lunged at me and stomped downwards with my boot knocking its head into the ground. It backed off snarling and would attempt more lunges with the same result.

I backed off slowly into my garage where I had a 6' length of PVC pipe. I started going after it with the pipe. It was leary of the PVC pipe, but wouldn't run off, just back up.

I eventually was able to herd into my backyard and locked it up in there.

Called the county sheriff who informed me they had no animal control officer. I was within my rights to defend myself, but if I shot it, make sure it died or I could face animal cruelty charges.

I kept it locked up until that evening when a lady came by looking for it. I mean mugged her and told her the story. She seemed embarrassed. The dog was happy to see her and wasn't aggressive at all towards me when she was there.

this is such a stupid question. I am a big pitbull person. The dog is aggressive due to the owner and the owner only.If its chasing you, you probably did something to provoke the dog. my pitbull that I have had for 5 years is a giant lapdog. Never even barks unless provoked.

I saw a guy doing some training once on how to handle agressive dogs and he said when it jumps up to bite your throat hold out your arm so that it locks on to the forearm and when it is locked on take it to ground so it is lying on its back and use your legs to pull its front legs apart. Once you have snapped the two front legs by pulling them apart it will die. Don't know how accurate this is and wouldn't like to try it but I really hope I never have to find out if it works or not.

i would climb on top of the nearest car. hope to god it's a truck so i can jump in the back. i don't think the dog would be able to jump into the back of the truck. i sometimes wonder if i climbed on top of a regular car if it would be too slippery for the dog. or possibly try to get into someone's backyard and hope i can close the gate before the dog gets in.

i think about these situations because i go running around the neighborhood a lot and who knows what is lurking around where i am... seriously debating carrying a knife when i go running.... actually i think i will.

edit- just saw OP says no weaponsthen i am dead
