Barking dog disturbs a sleep-deprived employee every night, so he aims a motion-activated flood light into his neighbor's bedroom as revenge: 'If I’m awake, you’re awake too'

• Once the neighbors received an offer to have their dog trained by the stranger next door, that should have sounded every siren of warning in their heads about their dog being disruptive. People don't just offer to train another person's dog, because it's time-consuming and complicated… Unless, of course, said dog's behavior is impacting them directly. 

  I've offered my fair share of dog training tips to the neighbors, hoping they'd leash their untrained pups or at least guide their poochy snouts, but to no avail. Some neighbors have their heads too deep in the sand to realize that their decisions affect the people around them, sometimes to the point of making them lose sleep over their poor judgment.

• It was then that a lightbulb went off in his head. 

  Pun intended. 

  If he could rig a floodlight to shine directly into his neighbor's bedroom every time the dog barked, he wouldn't have to train their pet. Instead, he could train them, the Pavlovian way. In the same way that Pavlov's dogs expected a treat every time a bell rang, this neighbor classically conditioned his neighbors to expect being awoken to a blinding light every time their dog barked. Surely after a few blinding beams of light, their sleep was sufficiently disturbed to leave them wondering how they could get back to dreamland. 

  It's actually quite simple: If they could train their dog to be peaceful at night, so returns their own peace of mind and the shut-eye the whole neighborhood has been missing out on.

• There are a lot of ways to get back at your neighbors for acting entitled, but creating a petty revenge machine that activates the moment their transgressions occur is downright clever. They have the power to put their own sleep schedule back together; all they have to do is train the dog… Which should have been a no-brainer to begin with.
