Answer:
Have your dogs been neutered?
how old is the bichon? if he is not too old, and not neutered you should have that done!
EDIT:
your bichon is still young enough to be neutered...i would suggest having it done for both the bichon AND the yorkie.
your poodle is an older dog, and because of that he might not be as dominate as he once was. as such your bichion is fighting for the alpha male position (top dog). you should correct this by of course breaking up fights, but after the fight put your bichon in a crate and allow your poodle to remain uncrated.
this "time out" acts as a discipline for him. letting him know that HE is NOT the top dog.
also ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pet,feed, give treats to and walk your poodle FIRST.
this reaffirms that the poodle is the top dog.
if your bichion jumps or tries to get your attention while you are giving whatever attention to your poodle, ignore him. if he becomes persistent or snippy w/the poodle...crate him.
when the poodle has had his needs met, (or you are done walking, or petting etc) AND the bichon has calmed down then you can let him out of his crate.
obedience training wouldn't be a bad idea either...it IS possible to teach an old dog new tricks. give these suggestions to your mom and everyone else in the house as well. EVERYONE has to be involved in this process not just you, as not to confuse the dogs.
