On a regular running route of mine in the eighties, there was a horse stable where all the riders seemed to bring their dogs. The dogs used to wait by the entrance gate, and when you went past, they'd surround you barking, jumping up, and nipping your hands and legs.
After suffering this twice, the third time I carried a large thick stick and, as I passed the stable and the dogs moved in, I whacked the biggest one I could see over the head as hard as I could. Lovely!
They all ran off, and from then on whenever I ran round there, they were all standing quietly and peacefully watching as I went past.

I'd like to introduce you to my dog. Then watch you squeal in agony.

I freely admit that at times I can be a white collar red-neck. One of those times is when I read your story about hitting a dog as hard as you could with a large stick.
