Bob Maida,

yep, that's the one!

but I think many of use have said it off group as well!
"knock that off" is one of my favorite phrases in dog
training. It covers so many circumstances.

"knock it off" and "watch out"/"move" are probably the most
frequent commands in my house. and i bet you can guess which
command is used most often with which dog!

I don't like bullies and wouldn't tolerate this.

it's a PITA to live with. harriet would be a terrible bully
if she could get away with it. i have to put the smack-down
on her or she'll micromanage elliott into a corner.

Personally, I'd probably do side my side crates with a
solid divider between them - the dogs know each other is
right there, but no evil eye possibilities.

that sounds like a reasonable solution to me, as long as the
male isn't already so intimidated that he won't eat if she's
physically that close to him. IOW, i'd take my cues on how
much separation they need from the male, even though i'd've
already put a halt to the female's bossypantsing.
