One of the farm houses that is on the edge of the fen here, is surrounded on all side by a 20 foot Leylandi hedge that runs all the way round the propery. Wandering past in a rather indifferent state of mind one afternoon, I was broken from my reverie by the head of Cerberus,(or one of his hell hound relations) suddenly erupting from the greenery and making a sprited effort to bite an arm off..... I caught the vauge impression of snapping ivory filled jaws much like ^this^ and then for it to vanish backwards agin and hole to seal back up leaving an otherwise normal expanse of lush green Leylandi.. shat me right up I tell you I swear that little git must wait by that one hole all day for some sod to wander past just like I did...

I a have a solution for dogs like that. I'm lucky enough to be extremely big and scarey looking.
I've noticed over the years that is I scream at them at the top of my lungs they tend to back down:P

It's a pack animal. It's instinct to back down if it feels it is the lesser animal.
