yep. separate crates in separate areas where they can't see
each other while they're eating or having chewies.

furthermore, where is the guy who used to say "don't let them
*do* that!" when you need him? if the female is being a
little bossypants, put a stop to it. it's one thing to let
the dogs sort out their pack order themselves and another to
let one dog bully the other. giving the boy the evil eye
while he's eating is, in my opinion, bullying him. he should
be allowed to eat in peace and she should learn to mind her
manners.
