99.9% of dogs are all show no matter how aggressive they act. If they run at you, turn and face them, stand tall, yell menacingly, and move towards them. Most will stop immediately, even back up, even if they continue the aggressive behavior. Walk your way out of their territory without letting your guard down.
Also, not sure about others, but I never stop moving. I keep headed in the direction I was going.
