Where is the post-headword modifier?

"My sister, talking loudly to bother my dog, was not very considerate."

Is the post-headword modifier "talking loudly to bother my dog" or "was not very considerate?" I know that it has to be either of those.

'was not very considerate' is the predicate of the clause. How could it be a modifier? Does that help?
