It might be possible to use an audio deterrent like a siren or a loud noise maker to startle the dog when someone the dog doesn't know enters the yard. If done repetitively and correctly, this could form a conditioned negative response in the animal that might make it wary of strangers. However, this approach should only be taken under expert supervision and careful consideration since wrongly timed responses may lead to aggression which could harm both people and animals.

First, be clear that training the dog to become aggressive towards strangers is both unethical and illegal. There are several other approaches that can be taken without putting your neighbor's dog or yourself in any danger.

One thing you can do is to increase its exposure to new stimuli, people, and locations while training it in a gradual manner. The more the dog experiences novel interactions and settings, the better it will be able to handle them. Additionally, teaching obedience commands like ‘come’ and ‘sit’ will provide more structure when dealing with unexpected visitors or people entering your yard. You should also make sure the environment stays interesting for your neighbor's pet – investing in puzzle-feeders containing their favorite treats could keep their attention when visitors arrive. Finally, consider taking the pup out on a walk around the block with a nearby friend or family member who can distractively feed treats in order to get closer than usual before suddenly leaving—this might simulate a stranger situation without causing any real harm!  With time and dedication you could eventually adjust how they interact with certain people coming over without needing them being physically confrontational about it due entirely through effective positive reinforcement techniques..
