It's amazing how barking dogs are always in an echo chamber like concrete rooms. Just gets progressively louder... UGH!

Try to verify if the sound is coming through the wall or sneaking around through other places. A very directional mic or simply a paper towel tube up to you ear could help verify the sources of noise transfer...

Trying to contain the noise in their space may be more cost effective? At minimum offer to put up some absorbtion panels in their room and verify that doors and windows and other places sound sneaks through (like water) are tightly sealed. At minimum, this dialog with them shows that it's so important to you that you'd spend $$ on it -- that may just make them much more considerate. And some other resolution *might* appear....
