As was stated, you are entitled to QUIET enjoyment of your property whether expressed in writing or not. It can be implied as you have a right to unimpaired use.
A barking dog is considered a nuisance that interferes with the physical condition of the land and comfort, convenience or health (mental) of a neighbor.
If a friendly negotiation or visit by the authorities does not alleviate the situation, there are other legal remedies.
A private or public nuisance is a tort (civil wrong). Redress for the nuisance can be monetary damages or injunctive (abatement) orders by a judge.
BTW, this applies to cats, as well. I'm not an attorney and never played one on T.V.
