Ear plugs are great.
I doubt neglect in this instance. Your neighbor likely has more dogs with the notion that they will keep one another company and require little human interaction. Since there are so many dogs, it will be difficult to train them, the pack mentality can encourage bad behaviors just as easily as good ones.
Sorry I don't have any nifty tricks for you. Our beloved mutt used to stare out the window and bark whenever a human or animal walked by. When she was older and her cataracts caused near-blindness, she barked at shadows. I would do anything to hear that bark again.
