They won't even go on a campsite if they can smell the scent of a dog. That is awesome that these two dogs were able to scare a bear by barking at it. I have no doubt that the bear would have one if he would have went after them.
No idea about that actually.
However from what I have observed about dogs, they normally would stay out of the striking range of whatever they are barking at. Plus with two dogs going at it together, the bear would be torn between deciding which one to attack.
The other thing which I have noticed about dogs is that they seem to know how to use a circling kind of manoever to handle situations like this.
