You like your neighbor and do not want to argue with them, so there must be a way to solve this annoying problem.
First, is to try and have your neighbor invite you over so the dog becomes more familiar with you. This way when you go out to get the morning paper or the mail, the dog will get use to seeing you.
Second, you can walk over to your neighbors house to check on the dog and the neighbor. There may be something wrong and the dog is trying to tell you something. In the event of such an occurrence, praise the dog for its good work, positive reactions are always the best for training. Ask if you can give the dog a treat, like humans they maybe allergic to some treats.
Next, suggest to your neighbor that they give their dog some toys to play with. Dogs like humans get bored and may need something to keep them distracted and entertained.Keep in mind some dogs may get sick with rawhide chew toys. The toy should also meet the size of the dog to avoid choking hazards.
Barking is the way dogs communicate. By you walking over and talking to it in a calm and pleasant manner, may help to calm the dog down and keep him them from barking. Show the dog you are his friend. Remember with animals it is not what you say, but how you say it. Always talk in a non threating voice.
