How to loosen a dog's jaw lock?
Today a stray dog that roams in my area ( which I’ve befriended )
attacked a smaller dog (yorkshire).
He actually was in the right, but I won’t recount what happened to the poor stray… I’ll just say that humans, when gathered together are mayhem.
I tried to protect the stray, but I couldn’t shoe off the thrashing, discoordinated kicks and the many disorderly attempts to harm the grounded dog…made by about 20 – 25 grown men gathered around it (and me). Not to mention the weight of the guy standing on the dog’s neck…
I couldn’t release the poor stray and nobody was in their right minds enough to listen to what I was shouting ( whilst pushing people away and socking them in the stomach ) : ” You’re making it worse!” ” That’s not the right way!”
during al this I was trying to press the dog’s soft parts under the jaws, the glands… pulling at its tail…
There wasn’t much of the large stray’s body exposed, being covered with human feet and stinking people’s shoes.
As I tried to give him a headlock I had a flying beer botle land on the back of my head.
Anyway…
I know a few techniques which have worked in the past.
I want to avoid one of them, I find it unnecessarily brutal.
What can you suggest?

What the frack kind of neighborhood do you hang out in?!
@syz At the moment I live in Italy.
That’s the kind of neighbourhood.
What happened to the poor dog?
I find, that when dealing with the fang, it is curved backward to prevent me from pulling away. In all instances, successful release is achieved by giving myself to the fang. It is not designed to cope well with anything freely given to it.
The fang wants me to pull away, so instead I push inward, until it gags, losing its grip, forcing it to open wider, as the curved tooth glides away without scarring the flesh… or the soul.
@Dr_Dredd When I went to checked for snapped bones and to pick it up, he york tried to bite me when finally the stray was forced to release. It was still alive, just traumatised. I handed him over to it’s ‘master’ and told him to take him to emergency.
As for the stray I was held up for a while keping people away from him. he finally found his way into the house of an old man of the area that usually takes care of him.
The damage inflicted to the york was doubled by the human pressure on his attacker.
Incredibly stupid people… they didn’t reason, just reacted…by ‘dancing’ on the stray’s head, making the jaw lock claps tighter.. more pressure on the smaller dog’s trachea…
Idiots.
The stray had just recovered from a car accident… he stil limps.
And now… wel he’s alive.
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Exactly. That is very logical and witful. Though I’ve tried that once when another stray clasped onto a cat. It was difficult to release it especially when I reached the back teeth. Couldn’t get a good grip and its neck was then clentched between the back teeth which point straight down. Those ones are for grinding raw flesh once captured and disabled.
Though in an emergency I do agre that would be perhaps the most likely attempt.
It’s actually a lesson for every day living as well. The tactic of gagging the fang works the same whether it be a wild animal, or a social problem. Once being accused of a crime I did not commit, the powers that be placed a tight grip upon me and wouldn’t let go. The natural inclination would be to wriggle and fight to get away. Yet they quickly grew tiresome and sickened at me constantly forcing myself upon them. It turned out to be a taste they did not enjoy, and thus they spewed me out of their mouth.
Hmm… indeed. Intelligent allegory.
Luckily not everyone reasons the way you do.. otherwise the law ( and social systems in general ) would have to change accordingly, and you and I, who practice this ‘Modus Cogitandi’
would be so elegantly screwed.
Perhaps..
