I was thinking more along the lines of an arm strangle, which still really isn't that good an idea.

Thank you for the compliments.
As I said earlier, physical combat with a violent dog would not be my first decision. If there were no alternative (i.e. the dog is tearing apart my dog, or directly attacking me, and I have nothing but my body as a weapon) I would go all out and do whatever I could to pacify it. Though its a possibility, I probably wouldn't try to control the dog through a strangle hold because they can, indeed, thrash themselves out of it with ease. Repeated strikes to its frontal lobe, and jaw would probably disorient them, and dog's front legs have a somewhat limited range of motion so it might be plausible to break one. That would slow it down enough to outrun it I'd imagine.
You're definately right about me being out of my depth in this field, as I have had very little experience in it. Actually, the only instance I can remember flat out fighting an animal is when a cat snuck up, jumped onto my neck and began clawing. It ended up in the neighbor's pool.
