today at the park

I was at the dog park with my 2 dogs earlier today. I was playing with another dog with a rope that was growling and out of nowhere my 2 dogs come running over and started barking at him. I was wondering if i should be concerned with this behavior or if it was something else.?

chucho does the same thing.. kinda.. we dont let him off the chain anymore like we do with shilo, when a dog is even just play growling wityh anyother dog or anything he freaks out an attacks. we adopted him with this issue, hes friendly other than that but we cant trust him anymore..

this was the only time i have ever seen them do it. when other dogs growl at each other they are fine.

i dont think yours is a problem, maybe they were just telling the dog they didnt like that, shilo is very submissve and does that alot, but she never does anything

I feel they were protecting you from a growling dog. Quite good of them, really.
