Rub behind its ear.
One might also stop the constant crossposting, and the offtopic postiing for that matter, perhaps it rightfully annoys the dog.

Positive reinforcement works. Negative reinforcement will only temporarily suppress behavior. So ultrasonic noise is not going to be very effective .
I would talk to the owner and get his approval. If the dog is barking at y ou, then having the owner kind of introduce you to the dog and show the do g that it does not need to protect the owner or itself from you would proba bly help. So rubbing behind the ear is good advice.

Have your neighbor contact Cesar Millan, "The Dog Whisperer". The problem is likely that the dog's owner isn't providing the dog with the proper boundaries and limitations that it needs.

What would happen if you pick up the dogs bark, delay it 1/4 second, or 1/2 second, or 1 second and play it back to the dog. Might confuse it enough that it would stop. Just a thought. Or record it and play it back, when the neighbor is home to hear what his dog does all day.
I read the other day that many critical public audio systems have ultrasound played through the speakers. This is picked up and is evidence the audio system is working. If the Ultrasound is not picked up the system needs immediate repair. The article was in relation to hearing damage to people or workers in the ultrasound 8 hours a day. I thought a phone app could be made to tell you when you were in an area where ultrasound was being played.

Yes. Call animal control and when they show up turn on the ultrasound. It may take a few calls, but works well in the end. Art
Retired, nothing to do, fret about the neighbour's dog.
A lead enriched breakfast snack. I particularly like those snacks which are delivered at 2k+ ft/s.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Can you fit a silencer on a weapon ??
A weapon *is* a silencer. ;-)
I guess that would depend on the method of application !!
Well, if not 'fooly' implemented, it becomes a torture device.
(or is that "phoully"?)
OOOH !! I get it now, brilliant.
Ear plugs.

I suspect earplugs would make the dog bark more.

'Own' the dog. Then tell him/her no. Only going to work if you have enough access and the right personality to establish who's boss. And do it without abuse of course.
