Ugh. This neighbor sucks. The worst part, there's really no solution. You could confront her, but I highly doubt that'll do any good. You can't really make a complaint to animal control or the cops...
Step 2: In a stern voice, ask "what the hell do you think you're doing."
Step 3: If the 1st words out of said douchetard's mouth aren't "I'm sorry, it won't happen again," call the cops and and have them cite her for disturbing the peace.
I have a beagle. I don't know about your neighbor's dog, but my beagle howls when he is excited. Things that get him excited are: 1. Food 2. The smell of food 3, The smell or sight of a strange animal 3. His family coming home 4. Just because he's happy and wants to play and run around howling.
My point is that don't assume that the dog is being somehow tortured because it's howling. Beagles are bred to be loud, so they can allow the hunter(s) to locate where they have found the prey.
This isn't to say your neighbor isn't a douche btw, and I have to agree with you, the howl of a beagle is annoying, which is why I doubt I'll get another one.
Maybe said Beagle is howling for someone to rescue the poor thing. Your neighbor sounds like a nightmare. The chickens would be more than I could handle.

Repeat steps 1-3 until said douchetard complies.

Good luck on what ever you do.
