Yeah, I'd agree. Sometimes it's tough to tell the difference because they can flash their teeth and not do any damage. If they're not hurting each other, they may work it out on their own.

If you're afraid of injuries, definitely put all toys away and supervise toy time. I had a big problem with that, a dominant male who was beating up a geriatric male just for looking at his toys. I increased exercise, leashed the dominant one during supervised toy time. Eventually, I discovered a toy that the geriatric one liked and the dominant one didn't. Together with the leashed practice and increased exercise, that solved the problem.

It resurfaced when we got a female pup, so I went back to leashes and supervised toy time. The female, however, learned her limits. She'll grab any toy she wants and only drop it if the male comes charging. It's a precarious balance sometimes, but it's working.

Good luck.
