Default Fighting brothers

After a couple weeks of having to pull Eddie (8 lbs) off Jack (4 lbs) over toys, I stumbled across a blog online that discusses aggression between dogs living together. I wondered what everyone thinks of this.

My tactic during fights had been to pick up Eddie and put him outside, giving Jack the toy they were fighting over. But this blog said I'm doing it exactly opposite. I should be elevating the status of the alpha instead of the other way around. That's the way it works in nature. It doesn't seem fair for those of us who pull for underdogs, but this site says fighting can be eliminated in 2 days with this technique.

Has anyone had any luck with this technique or found something else that works?

Here's the Web site. Scroll down to the part where it talks about aggression between dogs living together.
