Agressive Chug. (Half Chihuahua Half Pug)

I got Myloe a little over a year ago. It was him and my first dog, Echo in the beginning. Everything was perfect except for my need for another dog, so the following year, I had gotten another Chihuahua female at 3 months old. Myloe started to "attack" her by barring his teeth and trying to rip at the throat while making these horrible sounds. You could almost imagine him in one of those cartoons where the dogs fight with a puffy cloud and stars around them. It is scary, and he wouldn't stop until I pulled him away and put him in the pet carrier. Eventually he completely stopped and we didn't have to worry about anything at all again.
But soon, I got another craving for another dog. So I got a 6 week old German Shepherd. He is still a puppy. The very first night, Echo (My very first dog) attacked him at 5 am! This went on for a couple of nights, and then he stopped. But then Myloe started doing it. I figured it would go away just like he did with my female, Dreikah. But he is still doing it and it has been almost a whole month. All of my dogs sleep with me so I am constantly waking up to Myloe attacking my German Shepherd, Rhaye. I am concerned, and I know I need to get Myloe fixed. But other than dominancy, why else is he doing it? Thank you in advance for all your replies!

Nothing In Life Is Free
by: Adam G. Katz

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.
