I had to reply to this as I am the owner of 2 of these gorgeous animals. Todd is right that these dogs get a bad rap, but this is mainly due to poor ownership and little or no training and socialisation. Akitas need a lifetime of socilisation with animals AND people. Aggressive Akitas should never be bred from, so please get both of them to the vets. Your dogs need to know who is boss, Akitas are a dominant breed and if they sence you are weak they will challenge you for the alpha role. As for training, Akitas are extremely clever and bore easily. Keep training sessions short and varied.....if Akitas don't see a reason to sit or stay 10 times in a row they won't do it
It is possible that your dogs may never be friends again as Akitas are known to hold a grudge...this is also why you must never used forced training methods with them or physically correct any bad behavior.
If you need any more information about Akitas please feel free to contact me as I know of several reliable resources that may be of interest to you.
