Minor bites heal wel: Most minor dog bites heal well if they are left open. I would recommend applying a petroleum based antibiotic ointment like bacitracin, and a bandaid. Betadyne, peroxide and alcohol kill germs, but also kill the healing cells, so don't keep applying these substances after the initial wound cleaning. Oral antibiotics should be started quickly if significant redness develops.
