I have the same issue with two that are in heat right now.* It is like two dominant women with PMS.* they l;ook at each other and the fight is on.* My solution is to just keep them separated for the duration of the heat.* Not sure if it will go back to norma after the heat or this will be permanent.* Meanwhile I have divided the yard with another fence and I have ordered a second doggie door, ready to put it in when I can get someone to help me.

It will also serve to keep the boys and girls separated because I now have a second male, so need to separate them so there are no surprise matings.
