You can engage the "Exclude your visits using a cookie" option. This, however, will exclude all your visits from that machine, no matter whether you're accessing the remote production or the local development site.
You can set this cookie when you're logged in as the Piwik administrator. The option is on the User Settings page that you access after you have clicked on the "Settings" top-of-page menu.
The other way of doing this is to assign a different site number to the local development site. This way, Piwik will track visits to the local site separately from those to the remote site.
