Dogs usually get more excited if you *try* to outrun them.  If you are
lugging your way up a hill you probably can't do that.  If the dog simply 
will *not* let up, the best thing to do is stop, get off if convenient,
and walk straight at the beast with your hand out in a gesture of friendship.
I've never seen this fail; either the dog will come drool all over your hand
or run away in terror.
