Record the "excessive" dog barking and file a complaint with The Villages, animal control and the Police. Other then that you would need to move.

As posted elsewhere.

I was teasing when I told my wife I would be king and she could be queen. HUM Immediately there was discontent from the only other resident.

Your rights end where the other persons rights begin. That is truly simple and covers most complex issues. This place can and will become hell when all think ME ME ME.
That includes a barking dog.

Most dogs bark because they sense a threat. If they can “see” what it is that they are sensing is a threat and get eventually realize that the threat really isn’t a threat, they usually stop. This may be difficult given the fencing, but perhaps you and your neighbor can come up with some sort of “window” so her dog can “see” your dog and realize it is not a threat!

I don't know how often you go to play with your dog but you could explain to the neighbor that you would like both dogs to get along and meet each other. If they can meet & get along the next door dog might not bark so much when your dog is out.
Or...you could ask if it's OK if you call her when you know you are going out with your dog and perhaps she could keep her dog inside during that period of time. Bring a treat for the dog.
or...you could get some freeze dried liver treats and when the dog starts barking throw him a treat over the wall.
or ...if all else fails get a boom box and play something with a heavy bass next to the fence when you are out with your dog . That should annoy both the next door dog and the neighbor and maybe the message will be clear.

What a stupid idea!!! Have you ever considered that the dog next door may be allergic to the ingredients in the doggie treats and might just be a shock to their systems. How irresponsible...why don't you just shoot the dog and be done with it! The lawsuit will be forthcoming regardless.

Dogs should be banned here. They cause too many problems in a retirement community.

For the most part, dogs are nothing more than loud, feces dropping public nuisances here.

People behind us had their TV on the lanai, no picture for us but we could hear every program they watched clearly. Those with doggie doors, have no idea how much their dogs bark. By morning 3 we were so glad our rep opened our eyes to CYV living. I would imagine many are quite, but didn’t want to gamble.
