Not necessarily. Could be that Jake causes a stir in her neck of the neighborhood when he’s out. I have a neighbor whose dog heads straight for my house, because he knows I have dogs. It causes a huge barking problem and chaos for the entire time he’s out. I have to pen my dogs in the house during this time, even though we have a fenced yard. The barking on both sides is out of control.

Don’t assume she’s a dog hater. Maybe she does dislike Jake, I know I dislike the dog in my neighborhood, and his owners.
