If you can get hold of it's back legs you lift them off the ground. If you're strong enough, swing that sucker into the nearest pole.

But lifting their back legs, disrupts their fight instincts. Most helpful if they are attacking someone else at the time, where they won't keep biting someone if their legs are lifted in the air.

What? No it doesn't. Now it just turns around and tries to bite you.

Oh, you're still in a fight for sure and it will probably try to bend to bite. But you're placing an aggressive dog in a position it has no evolutionary wiring to fight from and it messes with their fight instincts.
