Another 'outside-the-box' thought... I take it that you know the spiteful neighbor. Have you ever talked to him/her about your dilemma? In my experience sometimes it helps to just explain. Also... since Sophie barks when you are not home and the neighbor is bothered he/she must be home during those hours. Maybe you could ask him/her if they would like to take care of Sophie as long as you are gone? Sometimes people just need to be needed to change their minds about a nuisance... |
