| I would have a friendly word with the woman and emphasize how tragic it would be if her yapper got within grabbing distance of your dog. Perhaps tell her you are trying to train your dog to behave on leash around other dogs and this makes it difficult...since you are new neighbors, starting out in a friendly fashion is probably best.
I also know how frustrating that is. If I'm out with my dogs and someone's dog is approaching off leash, I immediately call to the owner to get their dog NOW. Usually people comply right away when they see a Rottweiler!
If a little common sense & courtesy doesn't work with her, then I guess a call to the local authorities is your next step.
