Dojo Rat here: I have had several times when I have been chased by dogs, usually farm dogs working in packs. One time I was in California and was training for a promotion test. I was jogging through almond orchards and was chased by three farm dogs. I realized I could not outrun them, and stopped, stood my ground, and let out a huge ki-ai martial yell. The dogs stopped dead in their tracks and ran the other way. I have used that against dogs ever since, and have even read about a guy using it against a Moose in Alaska the same way....
Ki-ai can definitely cause an involuntary response in the subject. I have used it to good effect before, but never on an animal. I'll give it a try! Any more stories on this?
