If the dogs were on leash and walked around the outside of the Court in a "common" area, that is one thing, but if the dog was being walked in an area that the ball could reasonably be expected to land/roll, then I have to agree with you that it would be common courtesy to walk someplace else.

Aren't the pickle ball courts fenced? Was the dog inside the fence? If so, I would put in a suggestion that the rules be changed to exclude dogs and pets from the fenced area.
Your reasonable attitude is applauded! HOWEVER!
You will learn that dog owners in your neighborhood will feel entitled to walk there dog on other peoples property to do there business.
This is a hot subject in this forum and i am a animal lover but do not want your dog on my property Period.
