I do this because I know they will hear more noises in the front of the apartment and don't want them to bark and bother other people.

I respectfully disagree with this. I think leaving a note on a door, rather than politely talking face to face, is likely to elicit that type of reaction.

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"!:mad::mad:
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.

Perhaps other neighbors could join or substantiate your concerns or have encountered similar events. Sounds like he has a warped and false sense of his importance. Check w/neighbors and see if anyone has similar experiences. Sounds like a male that feels inadequate and loves to compensate tries to control situations with intimidation - feel bad for his puppy - he probably treats it the same. Office might be a good place to start depending on the management staff. Best of luck and hope Princess will not be tormented in the future.

thanks.:)

i talked to the property manager a little while ago and she wants me to come in this afternoon & write up a complaint. i told her that a big concern is him trying to bait my dog into trouble. she doesn't want to just put it in my file, she wants to address it.
i got an e-mail back from the neighbors down the hall & they said they will def. be keeping an eye out down here and i do trust that.
at least now when it gets addressed he will hopefully think before he acts like an as-prin again!
