if dog is at your heels, stop and put bike between you and dog.

the second thing that works (but i'll bet not uphill) is to outrun the dog.
This might work for some people. ..

when you get off the bike you stop looking like prey to the dog.

Perfect advice!

Used to live out in the country and would always have big group of farm dogs come racing out at me when riding. I never had a problem. I would stop. Stare at the dogs and yell at them loudly "GO HOME!". I never had to get off the bike. The dogs alway turned tail and went back home. Hey I'm waaaaaaayyyy bigger than them! They didn't want no trouble!
