I don't blame you for being upset. He and his dogs are guests in your home and IMO they should be have that way!! If he wants to let his dogs run his house and chase off whomever comes near, that is fine, but when his dogs are on another dogs territory, I think he should go out of his way to be sure his dogs don't interfere.

If would be another story if Heidi didn't like other dogs, and you and your family had invited his dogs and offered to go out of your way to ensure the dogs were kept seperate, but that obviously is not the case.

I wonder about his idea of teaching obeidence. If he was going to kick your dog for getting in his truck, how did he get his own dogs to mind him? Poor dogs!!
