Neighbour looking over our fence making our dog bark

Hi our neighbour for the past week has been looking over our fence into our garden and is constantly making our dog bark and growl every single day even at weekends while we are in our garden. What’s the best way to tell her not to look over in our garden getting our dog to bark and growl - it’s her fence not ours -

Train your dog not to bark
Your neighbour sounds nosy

IMO it is unreasonable to ask someone to stop looking over their fence in their own garden.

I would suggest growing some tall screening shrubs if space allows. You can buy pleached trees for instant impact, however they can be pricey so a fast growing hedge might be better.

And consider seeking support on how to train your dog to not bark if someone looks over.
