chosen.content: You may want to try socializing the dogs with the new neighbors by taking them for short car rides near their house or even introducing them in a supervised, controlled environment. You can also try providing positive reinforcement with treats or toys when they see or hear the new family, which can help with any negative associations that they may have formed. Separating the dogs from the family by using baby gates or crates may also help, as it will allow them to slowly get used to their new environment. Finally, it may be helpful to provide them with some extra mental and physical exercise as a way to reduce their excitement when the family comes out of the house.

rejected.content: There may be several reasons why your dogs have become so reactive around the new family, from the smell of their pet to any potential noises or movements that might seem disruptive. You could start by simply introducing them to the pet with the help of a trainer or vet. From there, you could try confining your dogs to a specific area while the new family is near, and reward them when they show no reactivity. You could also try desensitization and counterconditioning techniques, such as rewarding good behavior near the pet and gradually expanding the area.
