My female attacks her brother when they see other dogs....

Maybe someone can help me here....I have 2 bostons, brother and sister (from 2 different litters by the same parents). Brother is about 1 year older. He's 5 and she's 4. Whenever we're out on a walk, if we see another dog, my two get excited as you would expect, but then my female growls, snarls and attacks her brother. She's never hurt him and it only lasts a quick moment, but it's enough to scare the other dog and owner and make me afraid to ever have them around other dogs. They seem to only be like this when on the leash. If the dogs are running around in a yard, my two are well behaved, once the initial snapping/butt sniffing is finished. Anyone have any ideas?
