They are getting aggressive because they are of the age of maturing and puberty. One is trying to establish dominance be the one in charge. The other dog is trying to fight back to stand his ground. It is best to not leave them together unsupervised so you can help control this situation. i would also recommend getting them neutered to help minimize hormones
