How to correct this behavior

Hi! I’ve read the guide but can’t seem to find any tips on how to handle this specific situation/type of dog aggression. I have a 4 year old Pomeranian and a 2 and 1/2 year old Poodle (same size as the Pomeranian not sure if it’s considered toy or miniature) they’re both spayed, really sweet, can play together and be around each other without issues most of the time but the thing is, my Pom gets nervous+ bites *very* hard, she is surprisingly strong and sometimes when she’s playing with toys and our poodle tries to take them from her it’ll turn into a full blown fight and we’re worried our poodle will end up getting badly hurt (we immediately separate them when this happens obviously). She also gets aggressive when I pick her up/ put her down and our poodle tries to playfully bite her, they eat in the same room without issues but when we try to give them treats, if we don’t watch them constantly our Pom will try to steal them from her and turn violent. To summarize, our poodle usually growls or gives a little bite as a warning but nothing dangerous, while our Pom gets easily excited and can quickly become aggressive when my poodle tries to snap back at her. My parents took away their toys to prevent fights and we only give them back when they’re in completely separate rooms. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to correct this type of behavior, we can stop the fights easily but we would rather correct her reactivity. I’m worried about our Pom bc she clearly can’t control her own strength and if they fought and anything happened to my other dog my parents would definitely give her away
