| I think of it as my responsibility to protect my dog from a charging, aggressive dog. I want my dogs to feel they can rely on me, even if that means putting myself on the front line.
When an offleash dog charges us, I grab my dog's leash near to collar and put her behind my back, and then I fend off the charging dog by any means necessary. 99% of the time, body language and a loud voice is enough to get rid of the offending beast.
Now, I've done this for dogs up to the size of a large Lab. However, I realize that there is alot of potential for serious injury, and I'm not sure what I'd do if a 150+ lb.St. Bernard charged us. Perhaps turn tail and hope we could outrun it? :p
