My a-year-old-next-Saturday pup has been on trail rides with me for about 7 or 8 months. My horse is a saint with dogs. She gave her some warning a couple of weeks ago and this week pup got an unshod hoof to the ribs. The dog was much better behaved for the rest of the ride.
One thing I did when I had my horse at my place was to take everyone on a walk - horse, dogs and me. I imagine the neighbors thought it was weird.
Another thing you want to do is work on your recall. If you had been on horseback I find the best thing to do is canter or trot off the other direction from the "object of their affection."
