Answer

Hi Paola,

A 9 week old puppy needs you to protect him from your other puppy. Even though it's purely play, she's simply too rough, and too big for your other pup. Your job as the pet owner is to protect the smaller pup. In time he will grow, and be able to take the rough play (which is normal between dogs), but for now it really doesn't matter that that you're tired of keeping them apart. You need to give both puppies individual attention, as well as allow supervised play.

You and your 5 month old dog would benefit from attending a "puppy kindergarten" obedience class. You will learn how to control your dog, and she will learn the basics of good manners and how to obey.

Best of luck,

Patti
