Two methods i have used met with equal success.
A couple of great guard dogs would rush out from a house backing onto a lane i had to walk up and down to get to and from my accommodation. Every morning i'd save some of my breakfast and give it to them. They never stopped barking or charging out from their house but they sure were distracted.
The other method i have used is not very nice but it works because so many of the dogs are used to being treated really badly. When i've had no food i stop walking, face the dog/s and never taking my eyes off them i slowly bend down and pretend to pick up a stone. The poor dogs take off fast.
