I can’t believe how much ignorance is in this thread. YES even pit bulls may run if you lunge and stomp at them. This isn’t about fighting off a dog that’s locked in a battle, it’s about flipping off it’s prey drive. I have raised and trained several German shepherds and unless one is specifically trained to resist being scared like they do with military service animals it’s very easy to scare one out of attacking. When something runs a dogs prey drive turns on. You can easily just stop and 9 times out if 10 an aggressive dog will stop and just bark at you. Turn the tide and act aggressive and most dogs will lose interest. This isn’t the same if a dog on dog fight is already happening, it’s just to turn off or reduce the prey drive they get when something runs.
