I noticed you neglect your dog...
Prolly not quite the way to start a *happie* relationship with the neighbors...

How about just taking a *stroll* through the building (when you know the dog IS whining) and pause at each door to *listen*... Might be able to pinpoint WHICH apartment s/he lives in.
Might have trouble with this idea IF the apartment building has a controlled access system where you need a key or must be *buzzed* into the foyer...

Next best bet is to actually *meet* one of the apartment dwellers - I'd bet that ANYone living in the building has a pretty good idea where the *Whiner* lives!

Once you know who Owns the dog - you can try to meet them and strike up a conversation...

Play it by ear at that point ~
If they seem nice and friendly - you could casually mention you've heard the FurPup whine a time or two. And offer to PetSit or at least give him/her a walk when you're available.

Good Luck!
