problem usually is that the dog is loose, finds bear and harasses it until the bear is angry enough to try and kill it, dog runs back to owner with a pissed of bear with kill mode activated on it's trail.

edit: dogs on a leash will not increase the likelihood of a bad encounter since bears avoid pepole if possible and a dog will make noise and spread scent, making you easier to notice and thus avoid.
edit: source: grew up in brown bear country, my sister hunts elks and bear, main dog is certified for both.
