I have a GSD as well, along with 2 other smaller dogs. If someone comes close to the fence, yard, or house, they bark. My dogs are never ever left outside alone without supervision. My neighbours on the other hand leave their dog outside for an hour or more sometimes and it is so so annoying.
The constant barking is terrible, but also when my dogs hear their dog bark, they join in. Imagine trying study through that!
Bring your dogs in the house, its safest for them and you wont have to risk someone taking them away, poisoning them, shooting them, etc.
One more thing you should consider, my GSD doesn't have to jump the fence to get out, she simply unlocks the gate and lets herself out! They are very very smart dogs.
