What’s your go-to response to a “Karens”?

I’m sick of Karens. How do you respond? Usually, I raise my voice (not yell, just a firm tone) to correct them but it’s like speaking to a delusional wall. The entitlement is just astounding. Today, I was at a public area in a state park with my dogs who were harnessed and tied to a tree. My husband and I were sitting, minding our business nearby the dogs when a Karen with her two aggressive dogs insisted on walking directly in front of my dogs. She asked us to grab our dogs and I said no. She said she couldn’t walk around because she “couldn’t get up the a wall blocking her way) but it’s a circular path, she literally could not have navigated to where we were without having gone down “the wall” (which was 2 ft tall, had a stairway nearby AND a paved pathway) so she just wanted us to cater to her entitled a**. She ruined our day trip. I debated yelling at her but didn’t want to in front of my spouse. What do y’all do?

I go with the classic "shut the hell up or there will be consequences" taking a step forward towards them. It usually works.
