Two male dogs will compete for a female in heat because they want the right to mate with her. They will often fight to the death to make sure the other dog does not father the puppies. When a female is in heat, the males will become agitated when they see another male dog.

Male canines can smell the female canines pheromones from a great distance. Pheromones are only emitted when the female is in heat.

The reason a dog can do this is because of his phenomenal sense of smell. I have heard that a dog can smell several drops of urine in a whole swimming pool!
