Hello Martene and thank you for your question, Do you mean yyou own two dogs and they are palying together? If so let them play its ok, you just don't want to over walk or jog/run a small puppy lab or toherwise, but with labs too much exercise through running and wlaking can cause joint problmes in the future.

Answer
This cannot be helped if the other dog is living in the home they will play and play until they drop its how dogs are, I can't say if this is harmful or not but I'd say problay not I'm not a vet so can't give you the exact anwser your looking for sorry.
