As someone who had my house built and lived in my neighborhood for the past sixteen years, I felt that having the landloard rent to dog owners was going to be a pain. But I decided to sit quiet and deal with it. But from day one these dogs have barked incessently (while someone was near the property).

That sux...any jackass can buy a dog and some petowners have a sense of entitlement.
You mentioned that it is a rented property...if you get no recourse from the dog owners, talk to the landlord and ask that he speak with the tenants. Your best bet may be that he stipulate that future tenants can not keep dogs. How often do leases turnover?...you could be stuck for a while. Even though there are legal ordinances it is very tough and lengthy to resolve legally. I have a friend that was at her wits end about a similar situation - tried legal to no avail and finally neighbours (rented) moved on.
I have a bunch of rental properties and never allow pets - too much hassle with tenants/neighbours.
