Fighting dogs?

I need help here. I have two westie terriers. Both female. The oldest is 8. The other is 1. Zoey ( the younger ) has been here for almost a year. Recently, they have started fighting. Viscious fighting. The kind of fighting that leaves one or both bloodied. I can't find a common denominator. It seems as if one looks at the other the wrong way. The other growls and they charge each other. Usually, I can catch one before they get to each other. Sometimes not, as I have no idea what sets them off.

I understand the whole one needs to be the alpha dog and the other needs to be the beta dog. Unfortunatley, it seems they both want to be the alpha and that just isn't going to set the envirnment for peaceful coexistance.

Has anyone found a way to socialize two dogs or have any ideas on what I can do?
