Use photoshop.
Make a selection of the blue part of the eye, then adjust the hue to the color you desire.

You really have 2 problems here, 1. fixing the blue eyes in the pictures and 2, NOT repeating the blue eyes.
1. to fix them you can do as previously suggested, or you can select the Blue area and FILL with black as only the pupil will turn blue when a flash goes off. (This is the same thing as RED eye in humans.) If you have photo shop (even elements I think but not sure) there are actions/plug in specifically designed to fix “blue eyes in pets. But a simple painting over or filling with black will solve the problem IN the photo.
2. To prevent the problem from happening you must move the light source (flash) as far up and away from your lens as possible. This not possible to do if you are using a point and shoot as the camera has a bilt in flash right next to the lens, but if you are using an SLR or DSLR with an external flash it will normally be high enough up and away from the lens to prevent blue/red eye. (you only need a few inches unless you are faily far from the person/animal then you must get the flash MUCH further away from the lens.
FYI the Red eye in people is caused by the light entering the pupil of the eye, bouncing off the back of the eye and eye socket and picking up a red color of the blood in the retna as it come back into the lens. Blue eye in animals occures for the same exact reason as red eye, but the color does not pick up the red color as dog and other nocternal animals eyes have a reflective layer behing the retna to bounce the light back into the nerve (rods) receptors. This layer allows the animal to see MUCH better then humans in low light. At dusk, dogs vision is about as sharp (as bright) as humans eyes at noon. (Or so I heard on a PBS show one time.)
good luck
