The most effective way to stop an aggressive dog from barking is to apply positive reinforcement. Begin by offering treats or praise when the dog is calm and quiet. Start playing gentle, soothing music or White Noise in the background which can help distract and redirect your neighbor's agitated pet while you’re training. Over time, your neighbors dog will soon learn what calm behavior sounds like. You may also find that playing with it either in your home (with supervision), or taking it outside in a safe, secure area can help alleviate any over-excitement leading to barking. It may also be necessary at times to have a professional trained animal behaviourist evaluate the situation and recommend possible methods that could be used for effective control of any excessive barking behaviors present within your neighbour's pup.
