My dad told me. Like I said, I never tried it myself - but its supposed to break its back.
Your dad's an idiot. That or he's trying to get you killed or castrated, take your pick.

1: You don't break an animal's back by making it do a split: splits affect the hips. Totally different part of the body, dontcha know.
2: If you -seriously- think that an aggressive dog is going to let you get your hands on it's hind legs, you've got another thing coming. That dog is vastly faster, stronger, and more determined than you can imagine, and if it's pissed it's meaner than shit. Try that move and say goodbye to your ballocks. Have you ever seen how quickly and flexibly dogs move in a fight?

Seriously, what made you think this was even vaguely a workable idea?

You are also supposed to be able to rips its jaws right apart - but I figured the dog might bite your fingers while trying that.
You do realize, don't you, that even an ordinary bird-dog can generate several hundred pounds of bite force? And that a pittbull or anything even remotely similar can top out at nearly a THOUSAND pounds? So unless you're capable of curling 500+lbs per hand, in -opposite- directions, while those 500lbs are pressing down on sharpened plates of tooth enamel, it a'int gonna happen. For a quick visualization imagine trying to hold up a 500lb weight, with one hand, and the weight has the blade from a pair of pinking shears attached to the underside.

I guess if the dog is right in front of you poking him in the eyes would also work pretty well.
Assuming the dog doesn't just snap your fingers right off (you -have- seen how fast dogs can snap, right? Or have they banned dogs in England too, along with guns and pointy knives?) this is probably the most sensible idea you've ever posited in Tilted Weaponry. Congratulations.
