In one of your next conversations with your neighbor, if I were you, I would let her know what's up and coming when your girls reach laying age. And at that point, I would also offer her some free eggs when they do start coming.
I have an old grouch living next to me, and he was also upset at me for having chickens in my back yard, (complained they upset his dog). Well, guess what! He got another dog, and the puppy gave his older dog something to do! PLAY! I also give him fresh eggs, from time to time. He doesn't complain to me anymore, and even talks to my birds every now and again.
Sometimes, when you extend your hand in compromise and friendship, this puts the ball in their court. If they don't reply in like kind, like others have said, "at least you tried", and you'll feel better with yourself for having done that.
But really, the free eggs may do the trick. I'm not sure about advising her to get another dog, to give her current dog something to do, other than bark though. Terriers aren't the same as German Shepards.. If she gets another Terrier, they may BOTH bark. But it's a shame that all her dog has to do with its time, is bark. I'm glad my neighbor got his dog a companion. And neither of them bark at my birds anymore. They came to the conclusion that it's pointless, as the birds ignore them, even when right up next to the fence! (And we have a 5 foot chain link, and a 4 foot, old rusty wire fence, seperating the dogs and chickens.)
I wish you the best of luck, and many eggs for all your time.
