If you ever get attacked by a mean nasty dog just jam your fist in his mouth, grab the back of his neck and hold him down on the ground. Ok I made that up but at least it sounds plausible- let me know if it works
Some dogs can exert 400+ lbs of force when biting. A good way to get your had broken.
You were right on with the grabbing by the back of the neck. If you don't have a snare, then back of the neck with one hand, and throat with other hand, and then push them to the ground. Once you have them in this hold, they can't bite you, but they can scratch.
You may get bit doing this, but you were going to get a bite anyway if you are so close you have to do this to a dog that is red lining.
My youngest flipped out today, and I got between her and another dog, and I got my hand bitten. Hurt like heck though she didn't bite hard enough to break the skin, and she wasn't trying to bite ME.
If you are having trouble getting a hold on the animal, smack it on the nose. Do not smack your own dog on the nose
