I live in a fairly decent apt. complex with secured entrances, I'm on the 3rd floor. My neighbors directly across the hall (3 guys) have a habit of letting the kinda "self-closing" door slam shut. When they do it's very loud & rattles my door which rattles Princess. I have worked with her a lot to minimize her daytime barking with success.
At night, from about 11 to 1ish then 5a.m. to 6ish they come and go left & right & I get startled awake by Princess barking her intruder bark because it scares her in the dead silence of night. Yesterday I put a note on their door asking for some courtesy & the night was quiet.
This morning when I got back from my sisters (I get my nephew off to school everyday, same time), my neighbor was walking his pug in the hall opposite of where we go out at and turned around just in time to meet me at my door. I avoided him, he went in and he SLAMMED the door. He then slammed the door prob 10 X's in the next hour.
I just feel paranoid now that he may be tormenting Princess while I'm gone now or something. I think this more because when she was a pup we were outside & he & his dog were on their balcony.
His dog was barking at her & he was saying "get her, get her"!
Do my fears sound justified or am I just being paranoid? Should I take any other steps in this situation? I don't want to create any more problems but for all I know he could be getting Princess worked up, then his dog worked up in retaliation.
Thanks for any input & sorry this is so long.
