Which dog is fixed? Are the other dogs male or female?

First thing I would suggest (in case there are any agression issues) is to get all the dogs spayed or neutered.
Second thing - dogs in a pack (and even 2 or 3 dogs makes a pack) will have an alpha. It's just how they work so unless they are getting to agressive and she is afraid they are hurting each other then I would let them work it out....one of them WILL be alpha. As long as your mom is alpha over all the dogs then it should be ok.

Is there a specific problem that is causing her concern?
