Just a correction, I did not say that obedience training would solve the problem. I said that she should have a trainer come into the home and evaluate the dogs. The behaviour is presenting itself in the home, so that is where it should be evaluated.

Contact a good trainer in your area, have them do an evaluation of your dogs, in your home. Then be sure to work closely with them to improve your boys behaviour. |
At that time, the trainer would be able to give them some techniques of how to deal with her boy's new found 'power'.
Obedience is a must, but it is not the silver bullet people seem to look for. Obedience is the bases for the dogs behaviour while they are with you, for establishing that bond that you two will build upon for the life of the dog.
An evaluation will offer specific aid in the areas where they will need it. A professionals evaluation of a situation is always best. You need to have the "3rd person perspective"; they'll often view things that we were too close to see. ;)
Best of luck with your boy! :)
