I agree with this. OP has a dog, so allergies might not be an issue. I would take treats over and personally give them to the dog. More than once. Pet the dog, learn the dog's name. Make sure the dog sees you and gets to know your scent. Then if he barks when you come outside, speak to the dog in a pleasant manner. Even then throw a treat over after he quiets down.
It shouldn't take long for this problem to go away, especially if OP can take her own dog over to meet & greet.
