It sounds like you have a little issue at hand. The only suggestion I can give is this:
Have you tried enrolling your two dogs in a quality obedience class that INCLUDES "playtime?" The playtime is so vitally important to have during obedience class because it allows the dog to socialize with other dogs. Another advantage to having playtime during the obedience class is becuase there you have the trainer(s) who know how to handle the situation.

When I first got my two shih-poos they came down with Kennel Cough, so early socialization with other dogs was not possible due to the fact that the Kennel Cough is so contagious. Once their kennel cough was gone we enrolled them in puppy class where they also had the oppurtunity to play with other puppies. And for the first couple of weeks they were absoulutely terrified of other dogs because they weren't able to be socialized early on. But, with the help of the trainers and continual playtimes, they were soon having a blast during their playtime. So, as you can see, it is possible to get a dog accustomed to other dogs, it is just a matter of time and proper instruction.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
