Depends on what you mean by having their claw "loose". If it's hanging on on the very back, where it connects to the fur and skin, then he/she could just be shedding the claw. This happens frequently, especially if the claw gets too long. If it's not doing that, then maybe you should take it to the vet for further information. It could be ingrown, which has the potential to be painful for the dog. If that's the problem, you'll have to clip it off.

What do you think about a neighbor allowing her dog in heat to run free?
I think that it is dangerous, unless the dog has a supply of water. It is easy for a dog to get dehydrated. Your dog should only be let loose in the backyard, if you have a fence. You should talk to your neighbor about letting her dog out.
