My husky and his best friend, a boxer (both 55 pounds), got into it once, all snarling and wrestling. It was horrendous to hear. I kicked them apart, but they went back at it 20 minutes later. BF said to let them have it out, and he was right. They'd known each other for months and never fought like this. It's normal-- once one achieves dominance, they don't do it again.
Now are you following the rules of having an alpha dog? He has to eat AFTER you eat, not before. And your alpha dog has to be fed wherever he eats FIRST, and then your other dog gets fed after him. If the omega dog gets fed first or before you, it'll get him confused on the pecking order in the family, and can lead to him instigating fights.
Good luck with this. I know fighting pets can be really stressful. You might just want to seperate them for a while and put the omega dog away from the family.
