After talking to her, I figured the problem was that one of the dogs wore a citronella collar which got set off by the other dog barking. So the dog wearing the collar started picking fights with the other dog because she associated his barks with being sprayed.

Glad you're not considering the shock collar.
Well she would never ever have the collar on if I wasn't there. It's only going to be used when they are out running. Clipse doesn't bark hardly at all, and Emily barks all the time when she's running. Like this:



On an unrelated note I saw in one thread that you described your dog Reece as a possible bichon/poodle cross. That's kind of funny because every time I look at your sig I say to myself that Reece looks like a white version of my boss's dog Champ, who we think might be a bichon/poodle cross. Here's a couple pics for comparison.
