You should probably teach her to stop. I mean, if she means that much to you, and you semi-want to stay on good terms with your neighbors, you'll get her to stop.
I don't necessarily agree with this. The OP didn't provide a ton of details, but if it's as simple as the dog barking at them when they get out of their car to go in their house or the like, I don't see anything wrong with that. If, on the other hand, the dog continuously barks at the neighbor while they are out in the garden or something, then certainly there needs to be some sort of control on this.You should probably teach her to stop.

Yep, actually I do, our other neighbors retrievers barks at me when i'm outside and i couldn't care less to be honest.I wonder if OP thinks middle-aged or young neighbors would enjoy dog barking. I don't really think being elderly has anything to do with it unless it's a bias-age shot. I think OP is lucky they are elderly as younger neighbors could bring some tougher problems. I know, that any dog I own should not be bothering my neighbors, just as I have the right not to be bothered by anything they own, kids/dogs/wild pigs etc.
And she's out most of the time, so therefore she barks most of the time. No one cares if a dog barks in the house. I think you're missing the point. All you are doing is buying trouble for yourself, and making your neighbors dislike you, and your dog. Why would you want to do that? Again...you're begging for your dogs to be let out, stolen, or worse.To make things clearer, she only barks when they are outside, so besides that she doesn't bark.
That's great, and in all fairness it probably would not bother me either. I'm elderly but I would just turn my sound system up. That's not the point you were posting about though.Yep, actually I do, our other neighbors retrievers barks at me when i'm outside and i couldn't care less to be honest.
This is definitely annoying.
I have one neighbor whose dog barks whenever I walk by with my dog. My dog does not bark. He would come out and yell at me for walking past his house on the sidewalk at 6 a.m. He would say, "Can't you wait until 7 to walk by?"
I don't walk that way in the mornings anymore. (I vary my morning walk, but now that one is out of the rotation.)
But I'm still annoyed by it.
I shouldn't have to do anything different because you have a dog that is not under control.
