My nosy neighbor is interfering with my training sessions with my Lab in my own yard. She tells me she's going to call animal services because she feels I am abusing my dog. What should I do?

Full Question:
Hello Cindy, I have a Labrador Retriever that I'm in the process of training, I'm having to use balanced training with him since positive reinforcement and food rewards aren't enough for my strong, stubborn working line Labrador. Here's my question, I have a nosey neighbor who gets in my business about how I train my dog using corrections with a prong collar, she tells me I'm abusing my animal and ruining my relationship with my dog by giving a simple correction with a light pop on the prong. She even went as far as to say she's going to call animal services on me. What should I do? I feel like I can't even train my dog in my yard without her watching or calling on me when I'm just correcting a bad behavior from my pup in training. Thank you for your time
Cindy

I wish I had some advice for you. Neighbor problems can be a real nightmare.
If I had a neighbor like this and she was interfering with my dog training I'd probably find a new place to work with my dog.
