Before getting all uptight and doing something you might regret (you never know, right now they could be GOOD neighbors!), find out if your area has any zoning ordinance against dog barking.

I was on the receiving end of a POS neighbor who decided that instead of complaining to me that my 9 month old dog was barking at squirrels while I was away for 30 minutes that it would be a better idea to call the police. Unbeknownst to her, there is no ordinance here against dog barking and there's nothing they can do other than ask the owner to shut their dogs up. She called twice more (still without talking to me about it first, and only while I was away) and the police gave her a cease-and-desist order to stop wasting their time.

It blows my mind that people are so uptight that they can't even talk to their neighbors anymore. Go over and ring the doorbell before flying off the handle, it may have never occurred to them that it's annoying the hell out of their neighbors.
