you need to be prepared for it...and make it happen...as you go down you knee goes into their gut, preferably upper rib cage...you land on top of the dog and it should be ok.
im not claiming this is easy...but seems better then your advice so far..i mean arent you some kind of ninja...you and dig420 are superstar fighters, you claim it a million times a day on the board...but you have no advice for how to stop an attacking dog?

I think I've made maybe less than a dozen posts about fight training. I'm no ninja, but I do train pretty much 6 days a week with weights, cardio and varius martial arts.
I'm not saying it's impossible to do what you're saying, I'm just saying it's very unlikely you're be able to do it. That's the reality of it.
I never used to think a dog would be that tough, having rough housed with large dogs an awful lot. That is until I actually worked with some dogs being trained for the police. Even a Belgium Sheppard, no more than 70 pounds is a fearsome opponent and a large German Sheppard or Rottweiler is just a nightmare. The speed a dog moves at when it's actualy attacking is so more more freightening than when a dog plays. You really have to experience it to appreciate the different.
If you're involved in a large dog attack, there are some things you can do. Try to stay upright and use your height as an advantage. If you have or can get a stick, briefcase, or anything of that nature position it between yourself and the dog, If at all possible, retreat into, behind, on top of or under something. If the dog gets a hold of you, gouging for the eyes and punching or kicking behind the rib cage, between the back legs may be able to produce some damage but in reality you're in a tough situation.
