She's probably defending her territory. The best thing to do would be to supervise her constantly when outside. Don't even give her the chance to get close to the neighbor.
I had a dog that bit the neighbor, and friends, and neighbors dogs. He was a great dog - when there was no one else around - but I realized that he could not be trusted. I always worried that a kid would walk through my yard and get mauled (he didn't just bite to warn - he bit to kill). If you can not trust your dog - and you know deep down that his behavior won't change - you might have to make a hard decision. It's only been about 2 months since I put my little angel down. It was the hardest thing I've ever done - but I wouldn't have been able to live with myself had he attacked someone seriously.
