Keep in mind that muscles which open an animals mouth are quite
weak compared to those that close it. It is easy to snap a dog's
mouth shut by striking it with an upward blow on the chin. With
luck, the dog will bite its own tongue. It is not hard to grasp a
dog by the muzzle and hold his mouth shut--until he starts shaking
his head. But that can buy you a moment or two to gouge his eyes or
kick him in the throat or the underbelly below the ribcage.

I hafta ask. How do you kick it in the throat while holding its mouth
shut?

Lift it up by the snout. Then let go and kick. Sort of like punting.

I suppose that might work for something around the size of a football.
But, dogs that size tend to be ankle biters and footballs usually
cooperate.
