    "Do not allow yourself to be pressured off the road by the dog."
    That's your advice? I faced this situation several times. My solution was to lean toward the dog and let out a loud bark or shout. If I had a whistle, I'd blow it loudly at the dog. Either of these things never failed to frighten off the dog, and it would just run away.
