    Are they neutered, not a miracle cure but it can help.
    You'd also need to post more info as to what sets them off fighting etc.

    True, neutering can calm down males. Have they lived together for the past year? or is one new?

    Are you sure it's fighting and not just playing rough...? I find it hard to believe two dogs who've grown up together would be seriously fighting, even if they are both males..

    hey, do you intervene when they fight? We have two males similar age, circumstances etc.. they used to fight quite a lot they are neutered and it did help but we used to instictively try and stop them fighting - if thats what you do too I would suggest you try leave them at it (altho I know its hard, especially at first) they need to establish a pecking order between themselves good luck :)
