I have 2 dogs and the male Jack Russell (who is pretty hyper) will stalk and harass my lab mix (who is pretty mellow) The Jack will follow him and bite his legs and bark at him non stop. The lab will ignore him but eventually will lash out at nearby dogs. To avoid this annoying behavior, I let only one off the leash at a time. How can I stop this behavior!!!!
There is no smacking that needs to be done. I would say start going to dog training, and learn how to do the got ya game. Also like one other person mentioned have a toy or ball to get the jack's attetion and throw that. However as soon as he gets rough go up to him get ahold of his collar and say got ya! Give him a treat when he looks at you. Give him a few moments to relax, and then tell him to go play. If he starts to act up again, do it again. If that doesn't work, place the lead on (make sure someone is watching your other dog) and take him outside of the play area for a min.. then return him to play.
Soon he'll learn that being too rough has him removed from the packs play time.

I thought that all dog parks had the rule that only well behaved dogs would be allowed in the dog park to begin with. Since your jrt is the cause of all the problems then I suggest you start by not taking him to the park get him training not to do that with your other dog.
