Haltz, when I was in a similar spot last fall I kept telling myself that if the yippy rat dog woke me up one more time, I was going to take a dump in the neighbor's jack o' lantern. I don't know if you can wait until October but I'd bet you'd get some satisfaction out of retaliating that way.

I could do this. We also have a mailbox in the hall, but I guess I'd need a key and that's probably some sort of federal crime anyway. If I could get in and out without being noticed I could go the ol' upper decker route, but I don't see how I can pull that off either.

thrill and cfs82 bring up a good point that Jock Jams isn't really a punishment for anyone, so I need to come up with a good playlist I guess. I'm taking suggestions. This is all I have so far:

Slayer "Angel of Death"
D Devils "Sex, Drugs and House"
Animal Collective "Winter Wonder Land"
Kanye West "Drunk and Hot Girls"

Really annoying, but also in my library. Maybe I need to go in an entirely different direction.

Drunken Iron Maiden Karaoke is really annoying.

I beg to differ...Drunken Jimmy Buffet Karaoke is worse

Not as bad as non-karaoke Jimmy Buffet.

Any Abba or Barry Manilow album and play it on a loop.

I would recommend just playing a SINGLE ABBA song on loop. 5-6 hours of that should do the trick.

All good suggestions, but for the most part too mellow I think. We're talking about a four unit building with my place on the bottom right and her's on the top left. The piercing barks make it through just fine, but I think Manilow and possibly Abba will just get drowned out.

Barking again. Good lord.

Can you just talk to her again about it? "It's just what the dog does when I'm not around" isn't really an acceptable answer.

I'd wait until 4am, then start barking at the top of your lungs. Then punctuate it at the end by yelling "HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW!!!" She will think she's living next to a crazy hillbilly, and will promptly move out. Problem solved. Maybe sell the idea a bit more by hanging a huge Skynyrd poster on the outside of your door. Maybe brandish a shotgun every once in a while. Preferably while drunk and carrying a jug of moonshine, clearly marked X X.
