Had this problem a while back and tried one of those anti-bark devices - completely ineffective.
My neighbor had 2 German Shephards that she would put out every morning at 3:45 and let them bark.
I tried talking to her. She was always very apologetic and promised it would not happen any more. The next morning at 3:45 WOOF WOOF WOOF.
I set my alarm for 2AM and went and pounded on her door. When she answered I explained that this is what it's like in my house every morning. Again very apologetic and at 3:45 WOOF WOOF WOOF.
I called animal control and was informed that because I live inside the city limits I had to call the police. I went and explained this to my neighbor and explained to her that I would really rather not send the police to her house, but it was my last alternative. Again, very apologetic and it won't happen again. 3:45AM WOOF WOOF WOOF.
It took 4 police visits with citations and it stopped for about a month. Then 1 morning at 3:45 WOOF WOOF WOOF. 2 more police visits and the problem was permanently solved.
Yes, my neighbor is a dumb ass!
OP - quite honestly you will need to find a way to cost them money or the problem will continue.
