It's 6am and Imma gonna bark at that walker and that walker from my yard while I pee

We live in a close nearby retirement neighborhood with small 1500 sq ft back yards. I have a territorial english shepherd who, when he goes out for his morning pee (and basically any other time outside), will bark if he sees a neighbor or a walker passing by at the top of the street.

We can't do anything about the visability.

I hate waking up my sleeping, retired neighbors. We're outside with him when this happens and sometimes we can get him to run back inside quickly but is there anything, anything we can do to nip this in the bud.

I'm open to anything that has worked for you. I've never used an e collar and don't want him associating strangers with discomfort as we can now drive thru the drive thrus in silence but I'm open to hearing more if it helped you.

Please offer what heped you.
