Well, depending on how large your tort is (or how small your dogs are LOL) will dictate if they will harm the tortoise or not. My little terrier mix snoops around their pens, but doesnt mess with mine. My babies are going on two years old and are big enough to not get carried off by cats that may come in the yard. Mine have never been threatened by anything. However, I would suggest not leaving unsupervised since your dogs get excited around your tort. Think about putting a simple wood and screen cover over your pen. My two babies are housed in an eight x four foot pen, and my 5 year old female is housed by herself in a six by six foot pen. Plenty of areas to hide. Their pens are close to and beneath a water oak tree in my yard, so basically out of the full sun.
