Hopefully it will just be a oncer - something might have triggered it off that you will never be able to fathom out. It could be pent up frustration and jealousy flowing out. I would feed each separately ie in different rooms or parts of the property, and I would play any inside games individually - with the other not in the same room. But outside the house is different and the dogs will probably treat it as such. Do you give each dog individual attention and affection on occasions and take them out on separate walks on occasions. If not, it would be good to devise a programme. When you have two or more dogs, one usually becomes the boss ( in most cases, the older dog) but the bossiness is usually more controlled. If not you must step in and take a firm stance against the perpertrator ie relay to him'her that their behaviour is not acceptable. On the occasions when I had two dogs together, the only 'war' involved food and a spot of growling in my dishing out affection - so I had to become more even handed and smart.
