When SHTF there will be a lot of dogs roaming the streets.

Hold out your hat or a bandana and wave it. Dog will instinctively attack it instead of your center body mass. You have the advantage, knock him down and step on his chest hard enough to stop his heartbeat.

With a speeding truck
:You will likely not encounter a SINGLE attacking dog is the problem.
After I read that I feel like a child watching a R-rated movie for the first time.
Like it was brutal just to read.
I kinda feel like crying.

pepper spray, a big knife, a stick, a good hard kick to the nose.
In all seriousness getting into a fight with a dog is alot like getting into a knife fight where in with a knife fight expect to get stabbed, and in a dog fight expect to get bit. So be ready for that and try to control where you are injured at. The arm is one of the best places to take a bite or a knife wound for that matter. So you can prepare by starting there. The dog attacks, you offer your forearm up, he takes it and most likely falls on top of you with your arm in his mouth, keeping him from your throat and vital organs. You got one free hand and 2 legs so make them count. If you dont have a knife at the disposal of your free hand (which you darn well should) then you gouge the animals eyes, and give it sharp blunt strikes to its nose. I have heard of, but dont really reccomend, chocking the dog to death but forcing your arm (the one he already has ) down the animals throat as far and hard as you can, grabbing and jabbing all the way. Some sturdy clothing is well reccomended I would think to hopefully provde at least some protection to your arm.

Sorry, but if I have to choose between me or a mangy cur, I choose me.
There is no animal I would not eat. My kitty cat Frank is not far from being on the menu when time get rough.You pretty much have size crush it. than skin it and cook it up. Lewis and Clark ate dogs and plenty of other people and civilizations have, I don't think i could eat my own
This will be a huge problem because allot of people me for one are attached to their dog like family. This is only natural and will cause many problems if people try to be stealthy and a bog begins to bark giving away your position. They can also be a warning but if the dog can see the enemy they are in your face already. Feeding them may become a problem and people will want that dog food you stored up to feed to their kids. Allot to think about here. You ain't eating my dog I will shoot you and feed you to her she will eat anything even if it is bad meat like your sorry dead butt. So this is what people will be faced with my dog is one of my kids get it. Now a wild dog on the attack well a baseball bat the Louisville Slugger or an aluminum would do the trick with out wasting a shot.

I don't see dogs as being much of a problem for real long. I do see them as maybe being a problem for a few weeks or maybe months until they die off. Dogs work in packs and groups when men aren't taking care of them. Some dogs like, poodles and such, have been bred to the point that they have genetic problems or can't live extended lives without men around to protect them and take care of them. Some dogs just need us to live while some could adapt to being part of a group or hunting pack. Some other dogs might interbreed with or become coydogs or join coyote packs. To avoid dogs, get up above them a few feet as in climbing up a tree. If you are in an open area, put your back up against something like a tree, cliff, wall or vehicle and face them. If you run, dogs will chase you down. If you turn to face them, dogs get confused and often will turn away rather than have a head-on confrontation. Keep in mind that predatory animals that work in groups use one animal to distract a potential target while another animal slips up behind the target to bite it or attack it from behind. So even though you face most of the dogs or predatory animals, one or two will try to sneak up behind you. If you seriously hurt the leader of the pack, then he will withdraw. As the injured leader leaves the rest of the pack will follow him away too. Most predatory animals have a group mindset that causes them to follow their leader no matter what.
I urge caution in reading this, I was explicit in directions...
Not to be too gory, but why not just disable the attack? Unless you are up against 600lbs of crushing power (you pitbull lovers know what I mean), after the initial chomp the dog will begin to jerk back and forth. This makes things VERY vibrational for you. To defeat the dog(s) all you have to do is take out 2 legs OR break the snout of the dog. Sounds easy, but it isn't. Much more fun than the alternative, though. I don't wanna be dinner for some pups.
This can be done on most average size non-fighting breeds by gripping the upper and lower jaw and ripping in opposite directions. In the event that you are with a fighting breed, do just as they do. Attack the throat. Dig your fingers into the neck, just below the bottom jawline. Find the windpipe and crush. Don't think your strong enough? Wait till the adrenaline of the attack and the endorphins from the bite-hole in your arm hit, then rip him to shreds.
Last resort, for those of us who can, is wrap your arms around his neck from any direction (beneath him, as if he attacked, or above him, as if he is lunging past you). Squeeze hard until he stops moving and his breathing is unable to be heard, then stand up, take a breath. When you have your balance, and before he gets up again, stomp just behind the front legs. This is called the chest cavity, and contains most of the vital organs for the pup. Don't think your heavy enough to crush the chest cavity? Work your way down to where his ribs stop, just before his pelvis and hind legs and stomp the top of him. This is the backbone, and if done properly can and will paralyze his back legs. Ensure that you find a sharp object afterwards and kill him by inserting it into the chest cavity and twisting until he coughs blood (lung puncture, just behind front shoulderblades). This, for a dog, would be mercy because a paralyzed dog will be victim to many and painful bites before he is killed by other dogs.
Brutal? Maybe... More brutal that dying at the hands of a pack of pups? Not likely. Note to readers... Dogs have an instinctual knowledge of where the throat is. Ensure that you keep your chin low and your arms close to your body, or you will not survive the bloodloss afterwards. Your major bloodvessels are vulnerable on the insides of your thighs, the insides of your upper arms, and the sides of your neck. Protect yourself accordingly, it only takes 5 minutes to die from arterial bloodloss in these areas.

every time we have one of these dog threads a lot of people's opinion is after TSHTF, you kill any and every dog you find. a few people explain that some dogs are family members to someone. of course if a dog is gonna shred you then you have to defend yourself. if your starving or what not you gotta eat. but you better make sure that dog doesnt belong to somebody who would kill you to save their dog. me personally, my dogs are no threat to anyone, and anybody who is a threat to them is toast. i'll dispatch you to hell and take your girl as my concubine.

Carry a weapon. Depending on your situaton and what law is looking like. I always carry a knife. Post SHTF you won't have to worry about laws and such keeping you from carry firearms. But should feral dog problems incur while law is still in effect then I would say carry a firearm if you cave a CCW otherwise carry a knife, baseball bat, wodden plank or anything that can be used as a slicing/stabbing weapon or blunt swinging weapons. Even carrying a good sized chain will come in handy for swinging at attacking animals.
And to use a phrase from a video I saw posted on here awhile ago. (some will remember)
"In a pinch you can use it to choke a muther f*cker out."
So think about weapons that are not ordinarily viewed as weapons. Pocket knives are not illeagal to carry on you so always have one.

My old neighbor's pitbull jumped me once. I instinctively punched it right in the nose as it leapt at me, it went right down and cowered.
A buddy of mine once had to deal with an out of control pitbull that belonged to some crazy lady. He had it by the ears (all the while it was turning its head side to side trying to bite into his forearms) and swung its spine into a telephone pole until it was dead.
