Hi there! Aggression between dogs in the same household is a complex behavior issue that really needs in-person help to address properly - there can be a myriad of different reasons that they are fighting, so you need an expert to evaluate them in person and help you put together a plan to work on the problem. I would recommend getting in touch with a behavior consultant or a good reward-based trainer for help with this issue. See this webpage for more information on how to find someone qualified in your area: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general/findabehaviourist In the meantime, I would continue to keep them separated to prevent things from getting worse until you are able to see the behaviorist.
