We've been working with Toby and he hasn't acted out again since the one incident. He's actually starting to calm down considerably. Izzie seemed to calm down right at the 6 month mark. Toby is now right around 11 months and is starting to chill out finally. I've been trying that positive reinforcement training stuff and I think it's working, cause he's finally learning to play tug o war with izzy instead of snagging it from her. And I gave them both little hoofs and they trade back and forth a lot but he isn't being as possessive about it like before. He's actually started to toss his toys across the room at her. It's been really nice. The only time he's aggressive anymore is when it comes to having his face groomed. We also started taking them to the dog parks and letting them play and run for hours at a time, and I think maybe that has helped a lot to. We go in the evenings every other day and whenever it's nice outside during the day I go by myself with them . He isn't as spastic since we started that consistently. And at the park he's actually pretty respectful of the other dogs space. I thought he'd be out of hand, but he's actually usually the one fending off other intrusive dogs rather than the other way around. I think maybe he's growing out of his puppy phase finally . Or he had some life altering epiphany I'm not aware of. Either way I'm happy with his behavior
