Well, yes - at this point the dogs silently retreating is the only possible explanation. Not a very satisfying one, though, considering that they're Ramsey's best hounds, that presumably have killed and eaten people before and they just spent some amount of time chasing prey, which is right there, defenseless and weak... But they just turned their tails and fled - without as much as a whimper and off-screen - as soon as they're released because some lady showed up and fell off a horse...
Hell - perhaps the dude holding the dogs just decided this wasn't worth his time and walked off, dragging the silent dogs with him...
Either way - I think this was very clumsy editing. A few sounds of dogs howling, growling, barking and/or scowling, with decreasing volume as the fight goes on would probably satisfy bored pedants, like myself.
