I would love to say that this is an easy fix but I really don't think it is. You should be the top dog in the house and I don't believe that you are, or the aggressive one would be more easily handled.
You're in need of a skilled trainer to help you get order in your home and teach you to show your dogs that you are in charge. Contact some local obedience schools, even audit some classes to make certain that you are getting the kind of instructor that you need. You need a trainer that understands both aggressive and submissive behavior and uses positive physical reinforcement as the reward. NO TREATS OR CLICKERS. In this case those items would be an ineffectual crutch.
Please find someone quickly before the behavior escalates.
Good Luck.

they fight because they are trying to fight over which one is the most dominent.trust me on this, i know animals.i have studied them for a very long, long, long time.dogs and cats and every other animal in the world(males)will fight for either dominance, territory, or females.trust me, i know.I really hope i helped & i hope that everything works out okay
