Arrow Aggressive dogs - what do you do?

When I take my camera and tripod to the woods for the purposes of wildlife photography, I have been 'threatened' by loose dogs - they approach at speed and stop within two foot of me and bark with increasing aggression - I maintain eye contact and keep the tripod in front as a 'shield' and wait for the dog to get called away by the owner (though on one occasion it walked off then ran back to continue), but I am concerned one will physically attack.

Obviously the woods are a good location for walks - plenty of sticks and open spaces to run, but I would like to know what I can do to avoid these dogs and how to stay safe.

Thankyou.
