Had this myself a couple months ago, welfare officer came round because of dogs barking a neighbours filing a disturbance order,, they said for me to bring the dogs inside to avoid any further visits but I just argued that they only bark when someone is out the back of my property I said its a simple security measure, they are protecting there territory and barking lasts no longer than 15-20 mins,, they haven't been back since and I haven't changed anything about there housing,, was just a silly busy body with nothing worthwhile in there own life they have to cause crap for other people
