the dog would bite through your veins and flesh and it would not let go, goodluck doing anything to the dog in that state.

My fraternity lets new members help with police dog training, let them suit up and get taken down. They have never been able to stay on their feet , so I'm going to say it depends on the dog/person combination. The handlers in the video would have a good chance against any dog

Might wanna read a few pages back. Knee hits don't do anything, it was a large enough force that it should have fractured the dogs rib cage and according to the vet safe to say it did, but it doesn't do shit.

Just because a dog can survive one or more hits doesn't mean they could withstand continual assault on the same area — it's the same way with humans. The best fighters have good resilience to getting knocked out or winded or getting their ribs broken, but it does still happen when enough hits are landed. Dogs are smaller animals and have weaker bones, so it's certainly viable, I'd say.


I did it probably 10 times. Punched it in the head about 10 times, punched it in the nose a few times, punched and knee'd it in the neck plenty of times, even ran up to it and kicked it. The same amount of force on a human would have left him on the ground easy.

If a dog clamps down on an un protected limb with intent. There is nothing that a human is going to be able to do. I'm sorry.

In Police-dog work yeah that's all that needs to happen — dogs are very good at immobilizing and distracting targets. However when a dog bites onto something, it losses it's main attack limb; the human still has at least 1, technically 3, limbs it can use to retaliate with.

If that doesn't work I'm pretty much out fo clues. I watched your vid but those dogs all had lots of momentum from the built up speed when they jumped onto their victims.

We are talking of a narrow room.

Other solutions I can think of would involve your weight.You have to somehow manage to sit on it so it can't escape, then use your free arm to pressure it's throat. Problem is that you have to lean forward to apply pressure with your weight, and that brings your throat closer to his teeth while you are choking it, so it's kinda a high risk solution.

Luckily the bite was only a re direct and natural instinct for the dog, as he was only trying to fight the other dog.


Depends on the situation.

OP situation is IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.
Your situation is different.

REALLY DEPEND on the dog and human.A lot of conditions and variable involve.

So i will just say 50/50 for dog and human.


This dog clamped down on my arm when I had the advantage and he was blind to me. He re directed on my arm before I could even tell what was happening. Imagine what would happen if the dog is being RELEASED on a human with intent to kill as OP states.

You were trying to break up a fight. You weren't trying to kill the animal. If you were, your approach would have been totally different.

Don't underestimate the combination Human + Adrenaline.

How can you win a fight against a "evolved to survive on it's own" creature without any weapons? Humans doesn't work like that. We evolved our brains to help us, if we can't use it our body alone is not even strong. We can't survive any cat/dog species in a fight alone in equal rights.

I know we all like to pretend were MMA fighers. But OP says average male. The average mall is about 5'10 170 pounds and not in life or death fighting type condition.



OP states that both dog and human 1v1 in a regular room in a fight to the death with the intent to KILL

In your situation,were you going in to BREAK UP FIGHTS OR GOING IN TO KILL?
There is a difference.Your situation don't comply with OP situation.
Presumeably from your situation, you were caught off guard.
Play your best

That's where I see the problem. Because your natural instinct is to try and keep your distance while fighting, you are even taught that in a lot of martial arts. Unlike humans though punching and kicking seems to make no difference, and when a dog is launching towards you, good luck roundhouse kicking a dog in mid-air unless you play for Real Madrid. Not to mention that the dog will make hundreds of attempts if it doesn't work the first time.

In this case you kinda need to get close and grapple it, however if you slip up that gives the dog free reign to do whatever it wants, its kinda like an all-in.

Adrenalin isn't like some magic wonder drug. It might make 10% of difference to your reflexes and strength, and you won't feel pain, but it will completely ruin your composure and accuracy.

Well if it was to be a fair fight then the human would have to be naked to be equivelent to the dog.

However even if they had clothes the human would get minced. I saw a german shepard yesterday that was half my height (I am 6'3) and had a head almost half the size of my upper torso. I would get fucked up and I am a physically active person and would consider myself above average in terms of physicality.

The fight would go like this. He wont fight like a man maintaining his distance he will rush you, take you down with his momentum, tear out your throat. GG no re

As far as i know, kicking dog to his face with straight up kicks will usually make them reluctant to come at you again. And since you are wearing normal street clothes(boots included),it should be pretty ez to stomp the dog to death.
Also im pretty fucking sure just grabbing any of the dog's limb and snapping it in any direction will instantly incapacitate it.

Also no fight in reality would go that way(unless its like in a boxing ring or something, but then human would be totaly ready for it with some strategy, for example running straight up at the dog, pushing him on the ground and then just killing him with punches), since human naturally grabs any shit that lays on the ground(for example rocks or sticks) and pounds it into the opponent. i doubt dog would have much of a chance. Wolfs(dogs included) are specially evoled to tire out there pray with chasing and kill them in packs.

Saying that a dog biting down on an extremity leaves you still with 3 to attack to the dogs 0 is not valid. A ferocious dog claming down on a limb makes you totally unable to use the other legs/arms to fight properly.

My point was the dog clamped on my arm and I blacked out until he released, all before I even knew what went on. I can't imagine how I would kill the dog before he would be able to clamp on one of a humans long limbs. I won't argue anymore. I'm just speaking from a bit of personal experience on the matter. I understand the situations are not identical.

I think its unfair to canel out the human advantage. Our advantage is to use tools to plan and to prepare. Not allowing this is like pulling the teeth from the dog and sending him to the fight.

As to the man vs pig contest though, I suppose (whether or not the human could get a good angle) an unarmed human would have an extremely difficult time actually finishing the pig off.


While it may be true that it's hard to actually finish it, if you've ever seen one of those horrible farm-bad-slaughter/anti-meateating videos put out by activists, a lot of the time the pigs there are kicked in the head (or beat with a stick, which is similar to a well placed kick), and fall over. I'm not saying they die, but a couple of more would take care of it.

Anyway, I don't want to think about animal vs human anymore. If a dog attacked me, I would have zero intent in fighting unarmed. If I did, I'd lose and so would most people. I don't think people realize how hard these guys bite.

They will literally fuck your limb up really really fast. Yes, you will have adrenaline but adrenaline does little to restore use in a severed muscle and nerves gone. If you're a bit lucky and get the dog on the side and gets a knee right in its wind pipe to crack you have a good chance of surviving before he kills you. But yeah..

Did anyone see the frozen planet episode with the lone wolf killing a bison? A German Shepard is a similar weight, I honestly see no way an untrained human would emerge alive from that. Having half your body weight ripping the flesh from your arm doesn't leave you in much of a position to fight. Its worth remembering that the dog will be flooded with adrenaline as well.

what are you talking about ???
If you take trained monster dog against untrained weak human its clear who has the upperhand ...
The whole test is not fair.
Just take the whole dog poulation -> then take only the shepard dogs -> then take only fit healthy shepard dogs -> then shepard dogs who are good at fighting or have actual training in it.
Having this selection process you could also single out the best bodied able humans and it would look different ...
