Our neighbour has 5 dogs (4 small white fluffy ones and a slightly bigger sandy coloured one). They BARK. Go off at any cats walking past, but most annoyingly, at us. Every time we are in our back garden and they are let out, they start up. Most of them bark a few times and give up, but the new younger one goes on and on and on and on. Their owners come out (most times, eventually) and yell at them, making them go back inside. But the next time the owners are out of sight, it starts again.
I'm not a dog owner, so am unsure how to act. We've tried going up to the fence and offering a hand to sniff. We've tried saying "quiet" in as gruff a voice as possible (same word their owners use). But we are obviously not in their pack and they are not to be mollified.
Any tips on what we can do to make this better?
