Was any of you guys ever chased by dogs while /out/? I had my

You shouldn't run away, you can't outrun them anyway and may trigger their hunting instincts.

But the chance that those would have actually harmed you was very low.

What would you do

>>1088550
If it's a shepard, then it's probably just trying to scare you back to the rest of the herd.

>>1088552
Yes, running away is still encouraging them to chase you, though. Mine likes to charge at cats to chase them. If they stand their ground instead of running he backs off.

>>1088556
For sure, I wouldn't run from a dog because if it's large enough to be a real threat then it would catch me anyways if it wanted to. Either slowly leave to show you're not a threat or stand your ground.

>>1088550
I get that but they were already running and barking towards me, probably just to scare me but if they had bitten me I would be in for a nasty ride.

What was I supposed to do, start screaming or laying still?

>>1088565
Move away calmly.

>>1088530
1. carry a gun

2. use it if necessary

>>1088565

Pick up a heavy clublike object and bash them in the head.

BTW, I was out walking my dog and a loose dog attacked him and latched onto the side of his head. I just started wailing on that dog punching it about its head like I was Mike Tyson. Eventually the dog released my dog and ran away. I fucked my knuckles up on its bony head though and my dog had to get multiple stitches. I don't know why I didn't kick it instead, I think I was just panicked.

Offleash dogs are considered vermin. Shoot on sight

>>1088743
This. I carry an old ski pole when I hike, the sound of it cutting through the air before it hits their head scares the fuck out of dogs. Plus you can use it to flip sneks off the trail. I'd prefer to shoot them but I live in Commiefornia where I'd be given life in prison while they give child molesters parole after 2 years.

>>1088758
By them I meant dogs not sneks.

They're working dogs; they're not trying to hunt you... more likely they may think you're a lost sheep or a threat to the sheep.

>>1088758

Any good walking stick will do, I have a willow staff that's light and sturdy and works just as well for unruly dogs as people. Don't run from dogs, you can't out run them, use any terrain to cover your backside, they like to nip from behind while the front dog distracts you. Their legs break fairly easily if it comes to that, and always carry a knife incase they're particularly vicious and lethal like killer attack chihuahuas that need to be put down.

>>1088743
Who let you off your leash? At least the dogs have a job you worthless parasite.

Funny I was thinking about asking the same questions after me and my gf encountered a big off-leach barking dog.

>following the trail
>abandoned house ahead of us
>we see a dog, he sees us, starts barking
>the trail passes near the house
>fuck this
>say to gf to stay calm
>calmly pick a big stick from the ground
>walk determined on the trail
>gf always behind me from the dog
>the dog moved a few steps toward us but that's it
>we hear him barking for the next 10mins

they only do their job, I just hopped that he didn't consider the trail as "his" territory

>pic related a lake we found the same day and had a nice swim

I went to college in a small town in southern Missouri near the Ozarks. There were a lot of dirt roads that went into the woods, I used to ride my bike around and explore them. One of these roads led to an abandoned trailer park. One night I was exploring it when like 3 or 4 of these dirty old dogs came out of one of the trailers and started chasing me. I rode like hell for what seemed like 5 minutes and they finally stopped chasing me. Pretty Terrifying.

>>1088556
>have akitas
>they chase cats
>and chickens and pitbulls and everything besides humans
>kills them all without remorse and goes about their day like nothing happened
In retrospect I wonder what the fuck my parents were thinking letting me run around with them while I was < 5 years old.

>Kill pitbulls
Doubt.png

i attempted* an overnight trip in the central cascades in june and found myself at the end of a snowdrift with a husky leashed up to a tree, few packs stashed next to 'em. figured the owners were around so we waited like 10 minutes since this dog just kept low growling at us. we see these two guys making their way up the side of the slope we're on, maybe 1-200 feet down. finally, the owner comes by, mumbling something, we make our way past the dog but the damn thing went for my friend's leg as soon as he made his way past the dog. that's my most exciting encounter.

>>1089451
*we ended up turning back around cuz the snow cover just kept getting worse and we weren't equipped for it.

>>1088551
fucking euros are such faggots. just ride on you gay loser quit with the complaining.

>>1088773
Have you fended off vicious dogs before then?

>>1089444

and nothing of value was lost.

>dog barks
>don't run
>it closes in
>walk away slowly
>dog stops barking
>look away for a split second
>dog charges and lunges at my leg
>manage to pull my leg out at the last moment and only get my pants and the very tip of the calf bitten off, mostly just skin
>try to kick it's head in with my plated boot
>don't land a good hit but don't whiff either
>it runs away

This wasn't even /out/ this happened two blocks from my lodging when I was in uni. Fucking eastern bloc "capitals" I swear to god. Ferals are a real problem here.

>>1089465

I was attacked by a pair of Dobermans when I was ten years old just walking a public trail in the park on my way to do some fishing. Fuckers tore me up pretty good, If it had't of been for an old guy fishing that had his knife with him I'd have been fucked. The only thing I had to fight them off was my fishing pole, and when I'd strike at one the other would lunge from behind. They almost had me down when the old guy showed up.

I still like dogs, but I don't go walking without a knife anymore. Still have to be leery around killer attach chihuahuas though, you can't trust those little shits, they'll rip your ankles off.

Yea all the time, I just hit them with what Im carrying. Once it was some pvc, another it was just a reggo stick.

I shoot them in their heads if not on a leash

He didn't say he cared about the pitbulls, he said he doubted an Akita would be a match for a pitbull. I do as well, it depends what breed specifically he's talking about but Akitas aren't a match for a healthy Staffordshire or American pit.

>>1090753
Good to see that /out/ is still getting a decent amount of traffic from other boards. We're always open to making new friends!

I live in the deep south so lots of feral dogs abound. I've only been attacked a few times, it's always by the tiny ones. I love dogs so I mean I wouldn't ever (not ever but you know) shoot one to death over me being near its home, but I've never been scared on one. What's he gonna do? Latch on to my leg? My arm? I'd be on that motherfucker like flies on shit. And I wouldn't stop.

I give you an example. I'm walking down a road one day and a mixed breed medium size dog (about 80 pounds) runs up to me to bite an intruder. You never break eye contact. Bitches break eye contact. You don't turn your back, and you tell him to go fuck himself. Mean it. A dog doesn't speak English, but he knows enough body language to know your not an easy target and you aren't trying to take his food. 99/100 theyll posture some but they aren't gonna be stupid.

>>1088530
If its one or two stand your ground and then make some changes to your route as to avoid serious confrontation, just dont take your eyes off them until they stop have an interest in you and are in a safe distance
Remember, barking means shit, snarling is serious business
If they are like a pack (strays/ferals) and come at you spot the largest guy, yell like a madman and charge their ass
They are pussies and will scramble immediately

All dogs are, until they aren't. They're big dogos tho.

One of my most depraved fantasies is getting ravaged over and over by a pack of wild dogs.

I-I'll show myself out.

>>1092017
This. Dogs know if you mean business, if you are thinking "I'll fucking kill you if you try some shit" they'll feel that and back down. Simple nonverbal communication.

>>1091236
American akita will kill anything
The males get to 120
They are like the pit bulls of the sptiz breeds
I own a 90lb pit
There aren't magical
Many are relentless when fighting, so are akitas
Pits can be very dog aggressive
So can akitas
The real difference is pit are some of the most owner focused dogs while akitas arent

>Were any of you guys ever chased by dogs while /out/?

Yes. Pit mix. Just relocated from SNJ to the NC/SC border, always fancied myself to be good with dogs (I also had 3 dogs at the time). That thing was either abused, rabid or both. Good thing I'd just pulled up to the trail and was still in my car when the fucker knocked up against my drivers side window. Called animal control, dude told me when he arrived that feral dogs are a big problem down here. Advised me to hike armed or if it's a state park bring one of my bigger dogs. Now every time I go hiking I bring my shepherd and my 9mm.

This is why I always carry my cutlass sheathed at my side when I am camping. I haven't had to use it on anything other than bush, but I'll be ready if I am in a situation like OP.

And this is how you handle a dog. Don't kill it, just let it get it's smell then send it off. Unless it's biting you. Then smack it's nose.

>>1088530
was 12.
got chased by a small pack of wild dogs at the town's edge where the railway, a small neglected hobo ridden woods and fishing lakes are.
was legit running for my life.

>>1092538
>Im afraid of nothing

Wow

>>1092845
this happened to me when I was 5. there was a pack of feral dogs in my neighbourhood one winter (Vietnamese farmers next door had all kinds of strays that they'd never neuter or control, and shit just got way out of hand). was playing in the snow and probably about 8 of them chased me through my yard and legit completely surrounded me. I thought I was gonna get ripped apart like a doll but mum saved me.

the cops were finally called and animal control collected all the dogs over the course of several weeks. poor things though.
