I'm new to the board. Hello all. Ed...congratulations on the depth and reach of your web site. Very impressive...truly.
My questions: I) Which are proper deployment tactics for a unarmed man/dog team when facing an assailant with a 1) knife; 2) machete?
II) What bite training scenarios should be construed for this?
III) What kind of bite should the dog be trained to attempt, if at all?
I set the scene as follows: a public place; no bystanders; early evening; fair amount of open space; not much cover; dog leashed; too far from your car to run to it; evident assault intention from the assailant.

I'm not a LEO or K9 professional but my advice is to drop your wallet and run. My life and my dog are worth much more than the 40$ and the maxxed out credit cards in my pocket. screaming like a crazy person might also be useful.

If you have a subject with either a knife or machete coming at you with intent to harm despite you haveing a GSD on a lead barking , etc.....then you will need a gun to stop that threat. This individual would not be right in the head and or on something.
If this is a realistic situation and you value your life then sending the dog in would give you TIME while you take off to get out of danger and get the police.
If retreat is not practical or apropriate then down your dog and apply a handgun caliber if at least .4+ until effective. If this option is not available in your State then quickly move to a less libral environment. It is quite probable that your assailant will not follow into such unfriendly waters.

YES, and on the 8th day the big man handed down concealed carry permits to all of us good little boys and girls, now if only I could find a shoulder holster to fit my civilian version M-4 carbine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Good answers!! jajaja!! I live in El Salvador...no problem with permits here! I'm looking for (a) specific protocol(s) and training for this. NO further thoughts on tactics for this , then? Suggested SOP would be to a) if one is armed, a little before yelling a warning (more jajaja), shoot the assailant until effective, b) send the dog in while you run away if unarmed, or c) run away.
Any thoughts on bite training dogs that will likely face edged weapons?
THanks for the answers guys...I'm still laughing...hmmm...a PPD in El Salvador...what the hell for?!
jajaja!
If the assailant is truly going to attack, then try this...
1. command the dog into a down
2. draw .45ACP, preferably loaded with hollow points
3. double tap to the center mass/torso of assailant
4. give warning that you will fire if he does not back down
5. when authorities show up, explain you and your dog were attacked and you feared for your life
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> OK, so maybe it's a bit out of order <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mike, out of order? hell I thought that was the law back home in Louisiana, LOL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Chris...the proper Louisiana order is...
1. shoot 3 or 4 times
2. take a drink of your beer
3. laugh with your dog at the moron
4. shoot a few more times
5. drink the rest of your beer
6. call your cousin that is the local Chief of Police and have a good laugh with him about the dummy
7. open another beer
8. shoot him one more time just for good measure
9. finish your beer and open another one
10. feed the gators
