A training program isn't going to do much. You need to see the underlining problem.

Your dog was put into a situation where he or she was uncomfortable and therefor this situation created stress in you BC, and what happens when a dog is under stress? Fight or flight, your dog unfortunately chose fight.

Now what happened.... I don't know. It could be a number of things :

1. Resource guarding - if the BC enjoys attention from people and the little dog came too close.

2. Combing the dog - something may have hurt the dog and redirected onto the little dog

3. Did not enjoy combing and felt cornered, became stressed and lashed out.

First off, please give more details to the scenerio as it played out, do not leave anything out. If you believe in the pack/leadership mentality, throw it out the window, because that will just get you further in a hole with the behaviour.
