I just hope and pray the puppy is just playing. I don't think she knows when to stop.

The older one will muzzle the puppy's nose to let her know she doesn't like it but the puppy still doesn't stop! The older one has "put down" the puppy a few times but the puppy just thinks she's playing.

I don't know whether to let them keep playing so roughly or to try to teach them to not play like that.

More than anything else, I'm so afraid one of them will get their eye injured.

We've never had TWO dogs at the same time so this is something new to us. In the past, the older one would not play. I think she is being the "Alpha".
