Why would anyone want one at all?

As suggested above, whether from behind if its attacking someone else, or from the front if its trying to get you, split its front paws/legs as wide apart as possible and you'll bust the chest open of any dog stopping any further confrontation.

Council Bull Terrier, innit.

It's ridiculous though isn't it? There's just no need for animals like that to be permitted.

That's not a Pit Bull, that's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier - a dog renowned for being so calm with children it earned the nickname "The Nanny Dog".

fking stupid owners.

Poor dog.

But I agree in that you would have had to kill the dog in that situation.

Hate the bloody things. There was a case not long ago of a child being savaged by one in her home. The mother stabbed it to death with a kitchen knife, unfortunately too late to save the girl's life.

I "think" they meant the golf clubs were used to attempt to pry the jaws apart. I may be wrong or course, but I struggle to understand how such an animal would survive being beaten repeatedly with such a severity that the shafts of the clubs broke. Obviously though, this is outside of my area of expertise of both sporting goods and veterinary skills.
Not sure a modern golf club shaft is particularly strong especially these days.

I was attacked by of all things, a golden retriever (never bought that brand of toilet roll again) . It was a full on attack and I was in real fear for my life. It was going for my throat but got a hold of my left hand and all I could do was jam my fist as far down its throat as I could and lie on top of the dog to stop it from moving and getting a more dangerous grip. After a while I managed to get up, holding the dog round it's belly with my right arm while my left was still stuck down it's throat then I repeatedly bashed it's head against a wall till it relaxed the grip on my hand. When it did this it was semi conscious and I threw it into a car boot and locked it in there till a council dog warden and the police arrived and removed it. I'm a big guy, ex-bouncer etc and have faced down some tough humans but was in serious trouble with this dog. I had a lot of stitches and one of fingers was only saved by my wedding ring.
Most people don't know how terrifying a full on dog attack can be and I doubt whether anyone here would actually manage to be the hero they think they would. Well done to the guy who waded in and got this dog off the woman.

If it's a male grab its balls tightly and twist them round and round ,remember when I was a kid and some blokes staff had grabbed this little terrier type dog and wouldn't let go,a bloke was hitting it it with a shovel on the head,no joy ,the coalman delivering at the time barged across shouting "that's no good ,out the way ,grab his knackeres,",which he proceeded to do ,literally picked the staff up by his balls ,he soon let go .

Thats a Staffordshire Bull Terrier by nature the most placid affectionate little animals you can get but very intelligent and easily trained to be wild by the wrong owners. My 8 year old bh Mia is the most docile little dog you would ever come acros and loves children,great with people other dogs cats etc, but weighs about 25 to 30kgs and if it doesnt want to go somewhere plants all four legs out slightly angled and you will pull her harness or collar right off over her head without moving her, she then about turns and runs straight home.

Looks like another one of these vile 'status dogs' reverting to it's true nature.

Was witness to a similar situation as a kid....the only thing that worked was lit matches up the nostrils !

I speak from experience here.

A pit bull with no collar on is *very* difficult to get hold of, since their hair is short, their skin loose making the dog very slippery.

I grabbed a leg and pulled it off my cat (which it was attacking at the time).

Horrible creatures.

Mrs Bills-in-law has worked with dogs for many years and she reckons that the only way to get a dog that is in attack mode to open its jaws is the sharp object up the bum technique. Even grabbing the puppy tackle has very little effect. They seem to be built differently in that regard.

The problem is that getting the jaws open just gets the dog off the victim. If it is still attacking it can then turn on anyone.

Not read the op, but there was a story on FB this week of a dog defending its owner against knife attack. It eventually kdied of its injuries later after being stabbed multiple times, but it's owner survived. Not sure if the attacker did.

The extinguisher method sounds best.

Related but I am sure I read somewhere you should kick them as hard as possible in the arse?

Or does that just make them annoyed and turn around to see who did it?

It'd certainly make me curious as to whom was thumping my posterior with rigour.

My mum has a couple of Staffies, judging by the smells that come out of the arse end of one of them I think I'd rather take my chances with the bitey end...

Kill the person its attacking - that will probably calm it down.

Tell it to stand still.

Kneel in front of it.

Firmly grasp one front leg in each hand.

With a quick and firm movement, pull its legs apart.

This will rupture its heart.

If it won't stand still, ask it in another language.

Repeat, until you get the right language.

Sell it for meat on Ebay to South Korea, or Scunthorpe, or somewhere.

The end.
