Self Defence 5: Protect Yourself And Your Dog
Self Defence 5: Protect Yourself And Your Dog
We read so much about pet owners being attacked raped and murdered when walking their dog in the park or wherever..
Now rightly or wrongly I consider my first duty is to Tyson my dog.
1. I make sure his collar is such that I can slide it off in an instant freeing him and making it difficult for my attacker mugger or wouldbe rapist to catch hold and hurt him.
2. He is trained to “Bark” on command to draw attention if we are trouble. The last thing an attacker wants is publicity: so the more noise the better. Every time I walk him I train him with small dog biscuits to bark instantly and loudly. He doesn’t need to bite just bark. I don’t want him stabbed.
Being very worlduntrusting I always have some means of protecting him and myself! in the event of being under threat.
3. Firstly his lead has a fairly heavy clasp such that it can be slashed through an attacker’s face or eye. At the first sign of danger release your dog and wrap the lead around your hand with the clasp hanging down for about 30 inches just behind your buttock. As he closes slash the clasp through his face and slash back again most rapidly and violently causing him some inconvenience! This is somewhat similar to the martial art manrikigusarijutsu using a chain in self defence.
4. But personally I always have a second effective weapon with me a six inch long dog’s chew tucked in my belt. The martial arts system yawarajutsu uses a short stick to stab into eyes mouth hand or wherever. This hard chew makes for an excellent yawarastick. Most effective and perfectly legal! You cannot be accused by the wouldbe rapist that you used a martial arts weapon to beat him up! Although you actually have!
5. But above all Be Aware! Don’t be where Danger might be! Always carry that long strong dog chew!
Survive!
