Hi everyone
As a postie here in England and a 3rd Dan I feel I have enough experience to tell you the best technique for dog attacks. It isn't nikyo, irimi nage or anything like that it's..........................
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

Tony
that's the worst technique imaginable.

You need to make yourself small and stay put. If it comes within what you feel is a comfortable ma'ai irimi, go for the throat and take it down. Just make sure you don't let go. Let your hand slide up to the jaw bones and you and the dog will be safe. Even a large dog will go down if you get under it's center.

I play with my dog a lot and as long as I position myself to get under her center I get the upper hand. If not, I usually end up taking a fall.
