Authorities said the argument was about a neighbor accidentally running over a growing plant while backing a vehicle into a driveway.
Police say one of the women pulled out a fake gun causing the homeowner to back away and pick up one of the dogs with him.
Investigators says one of the women then told the other to kick the other dog, which she did, sending the dog airborne.
