what is considered a dog attack?

No bite, no blood, no medical report, I would've told the guy to suck my dick.


You're fine.

I've been bitten by two dogs so far and have scars from both and wouldn't call either of them actual attacks...

My dog was attacked by a pitbull while I was walking her on leash.

The woman was outside with her dog off leash and it just ran at us. I didn't think, I just reacted and put myself between the pit and my dog. That pit was trying to get between my legs at my dog, I'm holding my dogs collar behind me and had the pit by the scruff of its neck.

Owner woman's dumbass didn't even come get her dog until I started cussing at her to hurry the fuck up. Lucky I was wearing a leather coat or she would of been hearing from not only animal control but the police too.

That's when you start beating the dog, good for you for not just standing there screaming tho.

I reported two dogs at that apartment complex. Both bit my dog.

One tryed on multiple occasions to get my dog, but my husband kicked it in the head one time and body slammed it another time.

The other was damn near close to biting my dog.


I would never report somebodies dog for running up at me but staying a distance away barking. That is normal behavior. If it happened alot with the same dog I might report them for violating leash laws. But only after them letting it happen more than 2-3 times.

But if the dog snaps at me or my dog, they gonna get a visit from animal control.

I love my animals. Don't want to see them bruised up or bleeding. If I had a free hand I would of pushed the animal to the ground, but my dog was upset and trying to protect me. So I had to keep them apart.

IMO Its not so much the dog/breed. Its the owner and how the dog has been trained and treated. I don't blame the guy for lashing out a bit. You have a Mastif.. its an intimidating dog, the guy probably shit his pants. It wasn't an attack, as others have said, he can file a report, but thats just that. As an owner of a large bread dog that unfortunately has a bad reputation, you need to have the right leash.

I own a pit. She is super nice and well trained. She would probably be just fine off of a leash, but I don't do it because I think it is irresponsible and if anything goes down.. my dog will always get the blame. I gave up dog parks a while ago. Most dog owners suck and they don't know how to control their dog. I got tired of owners letting their dog act retarded and start fights with other dogs and/or my dog. In the end, their is always someone yelling about the pit bull. Its unfortunate but true. A little off the main point, but basically I feel that this incident will not cause any further problems for you. Upgrade yo leash.

Yeah its true about the dog behaving the way it has been brought up by the owner.

The clip on the harness broke it was lucky I had a extra collar around the neck.

She pulls me on the skateboard with her harness so I better get a better harness

We had a Rottweiler and a jack Russell when our kids were small I used to leave them loose in the back garden when I went out it was secured by a gate with a sign on beware dogs running free. One day a double glazing salesmen came to the house whilst I was out he totally ignored the sign on the gate and went into the back garden, the dogs who were not normally aggressive went for him ripping his trousers bad biting his leg enough or him to need stitches, he rang the the police and said he'd been attacked when the police came round I told them this man had entered my premises ignoring the warning sign and the dogs were simply guarding their domaine the police told the salesmen he should have never entered the premises so their was nothing they could do, but we were told to muzzle the rotti when she was walked and to keep her on the leash the crazy thing is the jack Russell was more aggressive than the rotti and he'd done the most damage to the salesmen, I'm afraid it's the breed that frightens people rather than the confrontation with the dog. We had a bull mastiff he died last year he was agressive with other dogs not people.

best thing you can do in that situation is kick the dog in the nuts (or the lack there of) - I've had a pit run up on me. I don't play that shit. I kicked that dog square in the dick. He gave out a yelp and stopped right in its tracks, his tail... nub of a tail curled down and he put his head down.

I use another method IF I have time, I reach down like I'm picking up a rock and act like I'm going to throw.
That stops em in their tracks every time for me so far, if not it's in for a world of pain.

that may work now and again on a nice dog.When my pit is being aggressive you wouldn't get your leg back.She knows to establish "hand and foot control"

My first instinct isn't to harm anything. It is to avoid harm to myself and others.

I am glad I scruffed the dog, because if I had missed a kick or punch it would of been bad for both dogs.
