Have you talked to the dog's owner? Are they aware the dog is barking all day? While not a common approach in this day (and honestly, one that makes my wife nervous), but I often go to the source and 50% of the time, get a good response. I've been told off, at that point I get the property owners or authorities involved.
It is in the approach. In your situation, I would engage the neighbor in conversation about the dog and your concern for the dog's welfare, not how over-the-top irritating it is.

I agree with this suggestion. It's human nature to go immediately into defense mode if we think we're under attack. Complaining, calling the office/authorities, etc. are all signs of attack. Being concerned about the dog and its obvious stress is not an attack.
And, let's face it, no one wants to be tattled on to the teacher/boss/authorities without ever being told there's a problem. Give them a chance to address it before tattling.
