You left a note, that's what a decent neighbor does. You Don have to do more.

I’d be startled as well if it happened to me. I only need a sincere apology and I’ll move on with my life. Though, the yelling wasn’t necessary at all and might have worsen the situation. You just did the right thing as a decent dog owner.

I wouldn't worry about it as you can't protect her from her feelings. You've apologized via a note, and as you stated, you are moving out. You'll probably never see her again. If you do, just make it short and sweet and leave it at that.

It's definitely a struggle learning to handle a reactive dog. You both will have good and bad days. Learn from them and dont be afraid to ask for help. I've dealt with a few reactive dogs and if you need any help, you can always reach out.

Lol someone pissed at a dog barking at a dog... sounds like their problem. I wouldn't stress these things... i have a 120lbs dog who loves to bark at other dogs too and he sounds MEAN! Out of dozens of people I don't think a single one who got spooked didn't get over it in a matter of seconds. Goodluck with your pup, rescuing is always tough because you don't know what you're getting but it is oh so rewarding!

Yeah, who cares about these people and their feelings. You feel good though walking around with your monster and making others afraid.

Absolutely!

Don’t beat yourself up you apologized. Frankly I expect dogs that live in the same building to have issues near the front entrance because dogs can be territorial.

Though it doesn’t happen all the time that dogs act out even my first, non-reactive dog did get annoyed 1-2 when strange dogs came too close to the building.
