The bags probably weren't "capes" but were perhaps an attempt to reduce DNA residue (they bothered with balaclavas after all). When the dogs started barking, they just wigged out. Perhaps they were (stupidly) loaded up on methamphetamines. I suspect the reality of this is more mundane.

Disguised men stabbing dogs? This was some kind of vengeance attack, perhaps a neighbor who hated the dogs for their barking and/or pooping, or a jilted lover trying to kill the dogs she loved more than him.
