What I do in case of a hound attack is drop my backpack to for my log suit and bush hat and hide near bees, tallbirds, pigs, beefalo, or any other mob that can attack and hounds may attack. I let them do all the dirty work, or if they're losing, I run. Treeguards are your best friends for this, esp. in winter. They can kill a hound in one hit, and will always get in a fight with them, and they never sleep. It's best to have a torch or willow's lighter equiped if it's dusk, or build a fire. If you don't have a bush hat, just dodge the hounds while dancing around what you want them to fight.

Another method for later game is to have a 'room' full of tooth and bee traps. No walls, just traps. It should be at least 5x5 traps in size.
