spray them with water and say "NO!" if that doesnt work then keep them in seperate rooms for a week
Are they neutered? If not, NEUTER!!

If they are, is the female spayed? Once again, if not, SPAY!

"Fixing" them will greatly reduce fighting! If none of them are "fixed", consider fixing all of them. It is much healthier for them, and much less worrisome for you! (and NO UNWANTED PUPPIES!)

If they are all fixed, it may just be an issue of separating them when you can't supervise.

You may also consider obedience training... an obedient dog is much easier to handle!
Spaying and Neutering will almost certainly stop terrortorial fighting. Also unwanted puppies. I am sure you may want a puppy but think about the shelter dogs...what if you were to sell one of those puppies only to find out years down the road when that owner can't/lost contact with you and takes that dog to the shelter cause of some stupid reason. They only hold Owner surrender dogs for 3 days then they are euthanized if not adopted. Wouldn't you feel bad if one of your puppies was PTS over something stupid
