I think a collar can work, but there are a couple other to consider.

1)  I don't know how long you had the dog, but he may not be familiar with your males yet.  You may try putting them in a kennel next to each other or tie them close to each other just so that the new dog can get familiar with your current males.

2) I think shock collars fix almost all problems, I would be cautious about using it to shock a male that is growling and here is why.  If your dog is aggravated and getting testy and you shock him, he MAY think that the shock is a bite or form of aggression from the other dog and the shock may actually cause a fight.  I saw an old timer straighten a bad dog up using a cattle prod once.  He always carried that "hot shot" in his truck for those times when he needed a dog to recognize who was in charge.  I don't care what dog it is and what they are doing, when you put that hot shot to them, they quit doing what they are doing and they fear the threat of using it again.  That old man could put the meanest of dogs together and they wouldn't even growl.
