Interesting response everyone, thank you although I'm not sure how many are actually serious. I really don't think biting a dog is a good idea.
So it appears that keeping the dog at bay is the best course of action via long stick, mace or even a shod foot (well placed kick) seems ideal. In this case, I think I would immediately pull back on the leash of my dog and shorten it while spraying or hitting with the stick with the other hand or kicking out. Of course while shouting emphatically, "no!"
In close quarter combat (no other choice) then I suppose the pinning, hitting, strangling stuff will have to do. Squeezing a neutered dog's "nuts" will probably not help nor if it's a female dog. I think it would be best to grab/hold the dog by the back of the neck instead of pinning it on it's back (those 4 legs can do some damage). So if you squeeze and hold tightly the neck and lean on the dog, you should be able to subdue it but this would also be difficult if you are holding the leash to your dog too.
Most of the time I'm in the park where there is nothing to attach the leash to.
So in sum:
- restrain own dog (leash, collar)
- "No!!!"
- mace or long stick
Otherwise Cyrnel, I'll be running right alongside of you while "Superman" Ch'i wrestles the dogs.
