Hi,
The basic camera's detection mechanism is based on image changes between different frames. The frame is one of the many still images which compose the complete moving picture. If there is a difference between the frames, the camera will recognize it as motion detected.

 

If you do not want to turn off the motion detection feature and change the detection zone, the camera will detect the dogs as motion when they move within the detection zone.

 

If you want to detect only people with the detection zone, you can turn off the motion detection feature, enable person detection only, and set the detection zone for person detection. After that, the dogs in front of the camera won't be detected.

 

Best Regards
