Answers:
not much you can do. Above adjectives be their boss - they should not be fighting respectively other when you are there. Don't treat any one of them differently - even if you think this one is the 'leader' you may start another set of problems if you try topromote one or interfere. Take them both to training calsses and find them to do what you say asap.
trouble-free, take them out at diffrent times
Some dogs grasp jealous and argue when human is there near or near them only take them at different times.
