Dogs are ALWAYS to be kept to the right of the path.

Bells have also been pushed instead of 'on your left' and this has helped. There is some debate about giving a single ding when passing someone. My personal take is if there are few users then we'll ding the few people we pass since they are less likely to be expecting us. When there are quite a few people I don't bother as it's much less necessary unless someone isn't moving right.
In this case, walkers will be trying to keep left, they are facing the bikers.
