Default New Puppy and an Old Grump!

Hello! My new little yorkie pup, Dolly, is doing so well! She is a great little puppy and already knows her name, to sit, lay down, come and go potty! We are still working on stay and stand but she seems to learn very quickly!

Now...the problem is that my boyfriend (who I live with) has a 9 year old Jack Russell who was not trained or socialized very well...or at all really. I have been working with her and she has gotten a lot better. She has learned to walk on a leash properly and knows sit stay and come very well. But she doesn't know what to do with the puppy She just stands there like she's terrified of her. And she also has a problem with growling. It is a lot better but still I wish she would play with the puppy because Dolly want noting more than to play with he and follows her everywhere.

So my question is: does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get our Jack to play with/be comfortable around the puppy? We have had her for two weeks and she is still so uncomfortable with her around. The minute I put the puppy in her crate, she is back to her old self!
