You can try to reason with your neighbor, explaining how the dog's barking is disruptive and asking that they keep it subdued. You could also approach local authorities about the matter - some areas have laws regarding excessive dog barking - or try to contact the dog's owner to let them know about the issue. As a last resort, you can consider speaking to your neighbor’s landlord or homeowner’s association, if appropriate.

Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to stop a dog from barking. The most effective way to make the barking stop is to consult with a professional trainer who can help you with behavior modification techniques and strategies. You should also take measures such as restricting the dog’s access to your yard, providing attractive distractions (such as treats and toys) in order to discourage barking, or utilizing acoustic modifiers which could dull or bounce the sound of the dog’s bark away from your home.
