Sensitive to neck being touched

My dog was attacked by an aggressive dog about 18 months ago and was left with multiple cuts and puncture wounds to her head and neck. She saw a vet and healed up nicely, but has since (understandably) been very sensitive to her neck being touched.

Recently, she bit someone after they pulled on her collar. She recieved a clean bill of health from a vet and completed her 10 day home quarantine.

I am needing help on how to train her so she is not so fearful of her neck being touched. We do not have the funds to hire a trainer, but I have plenty of time to work with her. She is a mid sized terrier breed, about 30 pounds, and knows simple commands. She does fine with people she knew before the attack, but is very wary of anyone new.
