I know why she is doing it.
My conclusion is she considers our neighbors constant encroachers and/or threats to our territory.
I have always known it was a territorial issue, however, I think she can learn that the neighbors she sees in their own yards every day are not to be snarled and barked at as if they were indeed the living dead.

As an aside, I doubt she thinks me dumb either, the wonderful thing about dogs is they pass no judgements like that on their people
