Why would dogs do this? i am guessing kids.

Lots of scuff marks in the soil which look like a dog's been skidding whilst biting the trunks.

People use trees as targets for fighting dogs. We had a spate of tree damage like this on a few sites. Lots of claw and teeth marks in the bark. If it was done by kids the cuts would be much neater and the bark on the top of the scar wouldn't have the "torn off" look.

Some pondlife train their 'trophy dogs' to attack trees to practice their fighting, but that is normally on smaller stuff that they can get their jaws around

David,

Because their owners incite them to do this, see : Vandalized Taxodium.

Bored kids + status dogs + lack of intelligence = the kind of damage you see there. You often get the little darlings using their knives to bebark the tree as well.
