dealing with noisy neighborhood dogs

Does anyone else have a neighbor with a dog that just won’t stop barking? There’s this dog in my neighborhood that seems to have a knack for barking at the most inconvenient times – like when I'm trying to catch some sleep or during my Zoom meetings. 🙃

I get that dogs bark, it's natural, but it's getting to the point where it's hard to concentrate. I’ve tried talking to the owner, but it didn’t really change anything. Has anyone successfully dealt with this kind of situation? Any tips or strategies?

Maybe I should get some noise-canceling headphones? Or maybe there's a more diplomatic way to handle this? Would love to hear your experiences or suggestions!
