If your dogs were under voice control and immediately returned to you when you called them, then the other woman was in the wrong. If your dogs aren't under voice control, they shouldn't be off leash.
I agree with this, and from your explaination, it sounds as if your dogs are under voice control.

I also agree, that if the woman can not control her aggressive dogs, she should either walk then in a manner she can control (with one at a time, or buy use of a halti, harness, prong collar,whatever). Okay, in reality, your dogs should not have run up to hers, but, the way she ordered you to turn around,even after your dogs were leashed (if I am reading your account correctly) it sounds as if her dogs at not realible to pass another animal on the path, whether they are leashed or not...and sheneeds to have at least that much control over the dog before she takes them in public.
