Davinci may be a little young yet, but I'd definitely try walking them together. It also wears them out, and they say a tired dog is a happy dog.

They attack me too. They do live in packs and they do have a pecking order. And if the human wants to be respected, they had better act the part of the pack leader. You will never see a dog willingly living alone. and they will either fight the leader for the top poition, or they willingly become a submissive pack member.
