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.

If your dog keeps licking his front dew claw, that appears loose but not infected, you should take the dog to the vet. The vet can treat or remove it so that the dog does not get it caught on anything, and so it does not become infected. The vet can also bandage the paw to keep it clean.

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.
