This is what I try to do. I can tell when they are about to start fighting, they always do the sideways glances first. Generally what will happen is that they will do the sideways glances and then I will grab the little dog (usually chloe) quickly to try and prevent whats about to happen next but my grabbing chloe will then start the fight regardless. So after I break up the fight I always firmly tell everyone NO, I dont spank, just tell them bad dogs which they definetly know what that means, and then I do usually have to get Penny off the couch (the fights always happen on the couch) so I can calm everyone down. Once someone makes the first move, its pretty much always too late. I dont allow them to fight, it just happens as soon as someone(chloe) makes a threatening growl or "stare".
