Don't hate me for saying this. I am a dog owner and love my and all dogs. But... Dogs lower jaws can be their undoing. Driving the lower jaw backwards can break or sort of unhinge it if you are being attacked. This is an extreme measure because usually a dog that is injured in that way has to be put down. I don't endorse it...just answering the question.

A dog would only attack if it thought you were a threat. If you told yourself to stay calm, and don't do anything aggressive, it would back off - that's what we've done when we've encountered dogs whilst walking our dogs. Their senses are really sharp and they'll pick up on the energy/vibe you give off. ~ F.S ~

There's a lot of variables here. Assuming it's lunging up/toward you, bring your knee up into its sternum. Unless it's a pit bull, that will make it reconsider. If it's a pit bull, call animal control unless you can deliver some sort of lethal blow to it. One idea for generic dogs.

Stick your finger up it's bum, it'll stop biting and turn around to see what it is ! :)

Pepper spray ought to do the trick, useful for bipedal wolves as well.

Stomp on its paws and gouge at its eyes. It sounds cruel, but it's not like an attacking dog has concern for the well being of the person it's attacking.
