Issue with barking dogs (neighbours)

Hi all,

Taking a long shot here to see if anyone has some relevant information to share.

We stay in a complex, and my neighbour has 2 Australian sheep dogs. They are driving us up the wall! These dogs start barking and yapping as soon as the sun comes out. Some issues:
> They bark at anything they see in the complex streets, whether it be someone entering or leaving their unit at the other end of the complex, or nearby
> They bark at every aeroplane and helicopter that flies overhead.
> They bark at birds sitting on neighbouring roofs.

It is getting intolerable now. What's even more irritating, is that often the owners are at home and the dogs bark, and they do nothing about it. Someone in the complex complained previously, and you know what reply he got: "That's what dogs do, they bark".

I've downloaded the Ekurhuleni by-laws regarding dogs, but they are from way back in the 80's. There also isn't any relevant information in there about nuisance pets. (Our complex rules also don't specify anything, but these are in the process of being amended)

Does anyone have any info around this? Ideas what to do?

Thanks
