the dog is coming you have little choice...you cant talk your way out of it.
if you ever find yourself in the position...i hope you remember this thread  |
I have a 140 pound Rottweiler who is as tall as me when he stands on his back feet. If he pounced on you, there's next to no way you'd be able to brace yourself against that weight, you would be going down.
As for offering your arm up, there's no guarantee a dog will take that bait. Police dogs, for isntance, are trained not to. Police dogs actually are taught more to fight than just attack. If you for instance start punching them with one hand, they will release their grip on whatever they have and attack the hand you are trying to hit them with.
Further more, a large domestic dog can have some 320+ pounds of biting force. That's enough to crush most people's fore arms.
