Me, I'd move. You can't win. This woman will make your life miserable, or at best, you'll never quite feel comfortable.

It's funny how some people find themselves in messy altercations whereas others are able to avoid them. Me, I would have apologized right from the get-go. Then apologized some more. And a little more if need be. There's a reason I'm never in fights.

Just how noisy is your dog? Is it one of those small, yappy dogs? I can't stand them and would be cringing myself if you moved in next door to me. I also don't want a baby moving in next door either. But such is life. One of the problems with apartment living. I have to endure the screaming matches from my retarded neightbours. Wish they'd move out.

So yeah, move or have the mob help "diffuse" this situation.

So basically you're terrorising your neighbours with a dog that won't stop barking? I suppose it never barks when you're not there huh?

Put the dog down, or take it into the countryside & set it free. Either way the dog has to go!

I live downstairs from a woman that had a dog.

it would bark a lot, and of course when the people were not home.

I would complain and they would say, but my dog never barks when i am at home......but the frigging thing would bark non-stop when they were not there.

I had to go to management in the end and told them that i wold get the police involved or would demand compensation as it is against the rental agreement if they didn't either get rid of the dog, or keep it quiet somehow.
Dog was gone the next week.

I love dogs...had two in Australia but an apartment in korea is no place for a dog. the barking drives people insane, especially as your house is your sanctuary and a place for peace.

You have no sympathy from me, dogs should be outright BANNED from apartments.

Thanks to those who made constructive replies.

My wife does not work so she is home 24-7 literally. When we do go out, we put him in the back room and turn on the radio. We go out together maybe once a week for an hour or two at most. He only barks a little bit and then is quiet. As I mentioned before, he's not bad at all and is generally calm when we're home with him. I could understand our neighbour if he barked like mad 24-7, but he clearly does not do this and he's quieter after the blowup with the #@$# next door.

I think the key is that we've tried to compromise but the #@$(*#@ is just a nutjob. I was not planning on renewing my contract anyhow, so I hope to endure the next semester and then move.

I do not apologize for him barking as in our apartment, not for one second. I can hear babies crying, neighbours below us with kids jumping on their beds or fighting. I know other kids in our apartment chuck their trash in the elevator. It's part of living in an apartment. Our dog is not a significant source of noise nor are we unreasonable.

The #@$#@ asked me one day beforehand, in decent English, if we planned on having children. I said maybe and I could see her stress out even more. I would love to have a few babies here crying late at night just out of spite...

I think someone as sensitive as her should not live in an apartment like this as it does get noisy. When we were at the police station she mentioned that *why do I always have to live next to crazy neighbours* which demonstrates just how crazy SHE and looney she is. In my 5 + years here I've never had any major problems with any of my neighbours nor have they had any major problems with me.

She is kept in line by her husband when he is around. If I ever felt any pity for her, I feel a shred because I wouldn't be surprised if he beat her. He's actually fairly polite and respectful which is really odd...

I am considering a GPS idea of sorts...but the good news is that the CCTV camera DOES capture the mailbox area. It's good for 15 days. I'm trying to track the package number now. If it arrived beforehand and was snatched, I will know when to start looking.

I still laugh because at the police station, one of the policemen started talking to me in English and then just chatted.

If that #$#@ stole my mail and I can prove it, I'll do everything in my power to run her into the ground.

I will keep events posted as they go on...

I have a hard time sympathizing with dog owners who have yappy dogs and the dogs are always worse than the owners care to admit. I just figure buying a dog and refusing to train it resulting in it barking a lot is the height of selfishness.

Either ditch the dog or train it.

Jeez, do people not know about anti-barking collars. They spray an annoying spray into the dog's face when it barks, or some of them give a shock.

But the real issue is not the dog, it's the insane neighbors. I hope they are brought to jail for theft once the CCTV is reviewed.
