Seriously. They're the meanest corgi and wiener dog I've ever met. But they weren't vicious. They stopped advancing when I shouted "NO! YOU BE GOOD!" in my command voice. (Unlike the nasty little jack russels that used to live two doors down and tried to kill my childhood dog.)
It's pretty obvious they're just stressed out, poorly socialized, and trying to establish territory. A good fence, or walks instead of yard time would completely solve the problem. And be way safer for the dogs.
There had to be something else going on with those guys. Any time they saw another dog (or stranger) they completely flipped out, snarling and barking and practically foaming at the mouth trying to maul them. When they got out and went after my childhood dog, Jet, they actually circled us and lunged at his underbelly. I kicked the one that lunged without thinking, and he went flying into his friend like eight feet away. When the owners finally grabbed their dogs, the dad nodded at me and said "good kick."
(I was really don't think I hurt the dog that badly, because it didn't yelp when I kicked it, when it hit the other dog, or when it's owner grabbed it around it's waste and picked it up.)
No need to defend your actions against mean dogs. I am in love with dogs and I've definitely had to do similar things in the past with dogs that aren't well behaved. I would hope most of us would understand dogs lunging in attack mode probably need to get kicked back or swatted away. They can do serious damage to even the biggest person. I've seen a small dog maul someone's face and they nearly lost their eye because of it.

Last night our smoke alarm went off randomly in the middle of the night (one loud beep, then it stopped. nothing caused it), and Rex, having never heard the smoke alarm before, decided he had to leap into action by knocking over the hamper, grabbing a couple of t-shirts, and bringing them onto my bed, sitting on my wife's head, and trying to cover himself with the shirts.
It was the most equally stupid and adorable thing I've ever seen. I couldn't even be mad.
The doofus, for illustrative purposes:

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Mabel went through a very destructive shoe phase but grew out of it quickly.
Uschi has eaten 12 pairs of glasses/sunglasses and five remotes, and shows no sign of slowing down. Because he has to be different.
Yeah the exchange went
Them: "Oh look at this silly pup, he has inadvertently stolen my sunglasses and eaten them because he doesn't understand property"
Gaston: "Fix your heart or die"

Didn't one of them eat a live bird?

Haechi boy took out every single one of his toys last night but refused to play with anything but one single tennis ball.
Dogs, man.

This is like when Rex, with 6 or 7 various squeeky balls and rubber bones scattered about the living room floor, suddenly realizes ONE of his balls has rolled under the couch and he throws an absolute fit until one of us helps him retrieve it.
He then, of course, just drops it on the pile of other toys and lays down contentedly, like a dragon hording so much gold.

Last christmas we tried to blow Uschi's tiny mind by presenting him with a basket of identical clones of his favourite toy. We thought he'd get really excited, like when you give a lab a basket of tennis balls.
Instead he got confused, and then upset, and then chose one out of all of them and hid under the bed with it. My father has had to dole them out slowly over the year as he gradually kills the squeaker in each one.

They were aptly named "Sugar" and "Cupcake."
Dogs can get territorial.

I told him with emphasis that he is a good boy

I would have a very hard time remembering that these dogs will become gigantors and I would just adopt them all because they are adorable floofs
I'm unhappy about the implicit lionisation of the police in the below graphic, but they've got Berners dead to rights

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge...
it's just dogwhistle language

I hope you have a good fence and a lot of patience! That bundle of cute trouble will be worth it if you can make it through the teenage crazies!
