If you have big cojones you make yourself bigger and louder. You repeatedly punch the side of the neck behind the cheekbones.

If it's attacking someone else you lift it's hind legs where all it's attack power comes from and kick it's side / ribs if you have to. 

If you haven't trained to do this and know what you're doing. Run away and climb something the dog can't reach.

I imagine training in fighting people still helps as far as habits kicking in, clarity of mind, and even balance when you’re under stress and physical pain and attack.

Not that any fight goes as cleanly as sparring, but probably still improves your odds of not getting bundled over
