Call off your dogs item

Have you ever accidentally punched your friend only to have your dogs immediately murder them whilst you both panic? Well this solves that. I am suggesting the addition of a new item, or new function for an existing item, that you could left trigger(place button) a player or mob with. This would then immediately stop all of your dogs from attacking said mob/player and prevent many future player deaths. This item could be a new item such as a peace lily or an existing item with a new function such as simply holding raw food in your hand.(The dogs would be more interested in the prospect of food and so, come towards you becoming uninterested in whatever or whoever it was you hit.
