The dog is guarding its territory, not only that but it is dark and it is afraid. I reckon buying schmackos (chicken or beef) and make a distinctive sound (whistle, clicking fingers or any other unique sound) then start by treating.

HE IS AFRAID OF YOU. You need to change that.

Then EVERY time for a week or so make the association between treat and that sound. SOON the dog will know it is you in the back yard at 3am not a stranger, and it wont cost you very much,

Whole principle of pavlovs dog? anyone remember their school days and biology experiments?

It might also be a good idea to speak with the owner first in case you make the dog sick if it is allergic to the treats.
