First, I would be cautious in accusing someone of criminality as this could have grave repercussions. You should probably retain an attorney to send s cease and desist letter, and if not consider a "nusiance" law suit. You should also be extra vigilint in protecting your dogs, keep them inside etc., to make sure that nothing horrifc happens util you get the issue resolved.
