Learn how dogs work and most are no trouble.
Pop rocks firework things do a nice job of driving them off.
When I've been chased by dogs, I ride at a fast, but submaximal pace. When the dog is pretty close, I let out aloud yell to startle them and immediately speed up. As I can best recall, they always give up the chase.
